Preliminary geodetic slip inversion, horizontal and vertical coseismic displacement models, and Coulomb stress change model. High-res versions at https://topex.ucsd.edu/SV_7.1/
GPS data collected between July 2, 2019 and July 9, 2019 were analyzed to determine the coseismic offsets for each earthquake. On the days of the earthquakes, the days were divided into two segments with the first segment ending a minute before the earthquakes and the second segment starting 5 minutes after the event time. Co-seismic offsets were estimates for sites up to 100 and 250 km from the hypocenters of each earthquake. The IGS rapid orbits were used as the fixed apriori orbit. GPS data available through the NSF/GAGE facility at UNAVCO,
Attached files are PDF and GAGE Event file format.

Fault trace is generalized from combination of satellite imagery and pixel tracking out of JPL (as of about 7/9/19; newer data has become available since then, plase see threads from Eric Fielding, Sang). Provisional field observations from CGS and USGS on NAWS and off base a combination of many academic contributors and CGS. Please see legend! Will be updated every couple of days.
This map includes geophysical stations installed and/or occupied in the days just after the earthquakes. Fault trace is provisional and generalized. Compilation by CGS-USGS.
The link below is a Keynote animation by Dave Mencin at UNAVCO for 5Hz ground displacements at the 3 closest NOTA stations to the M7.1 event: P595, P594, CCCC. These use rapid orbits. The grid spacing is 10cm for each plot. P595 shows the most coseismic displacement but P594 appears to have the greatest acceleration (a VSat comm site that managed to stay online but with increased latency after the earthquakes).

Thanks to Gareth for posting the link to the ARIA interferogram products. I was scrambling to catch up on things and did not get a chance to post here.
We have continued to update the aria-share site with additional products from the ALOS-2 path A065 interferogram from JAXA data acquired 20180416 and 20190708 (stripmap-ScanSAR). The new products include higher resolution images of the correlation (or decorrelation depending on how you look at it) maps with higher resolution to better image the correlation or coherence loss over the surface ruptures.
We have also uploaded a number of similar products from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 ascending track 64 (A064) interferogram from data acquired 2019/07/04 and 07/10 (6 days). The phase unwrapping of our interferogram has some obvious errors in the area near the main rupture, but it is generally good at larger distances from the fault. One important caveat about the Sentinel-1 interferogram is that there are some obvious phase discontinuities along the radar burst boundaries. These are caused by the large north component of ground displacement combined with the TOPS mode that Sentinel-1 uses. These discontinuities are exactly parallel to the top and bottom edges of the interferogram and separated about 20 km along track, the length of the burst. One of these burst boundaries is within about 1 km of the Garlock Fault with almost the same orientation, so use extra care in interpreting that area.
We have not been able to obtain any data from the Sentinel-1 pass over Ridgecrest on descending track 71 that was at about 7 AM California time on 7/10. We don't know yet whether they did not acquire the data on that pass or have not yet processed it. If they did not acquire data on 7/10, then we will have to wait another 6 days until 7/16 for the next pass on that track.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi All,
Attached are kmz of detailed fault trace mapping, mapped frmo the following geodetic data:
- Sentinel 1 unwrapped phase
- Sentinel 1 correlaiton image
- Planetlabs optical image displacement maps.

Map of the main shocks and the aftershocks, M>2.5, July 4-8 (about 1000 events) superposed on the FER from Wills, 1988. Geology is cited as from Hsu and Wagner (in progress at the time) which appears to be 1:24000 mapping being done for the Trona 1:250000 map. Events are size and depth color coded. Yellow highlights are from Wills original, and show the location of the Little Lake and Airport Lake fault zones, west of the 2019 events.
The attached pdf has a few images of initial representations of the two main ruptures, an Eastern and a Southern Little Lake fault. These representations are based on the hypocentral locations of the USGS/Comcat catalog and the five focal mechanisms for M5 and larger events in the sequence. Following the Riesner et al. (2017) approach of generating reproducable 3d fault geometries I used the SW-NE striking nodal plane of the initial M6.4 event to constrain the Southern Little Lake fault both in terms of location and orientation, and the the four nodal planes aligned with the main trend for the Eastern Little Lake fault for orientation, and main shock hypocenter for location. These constraints have a weight of 1 relative to the weight of 1e-4 of M5 and smaller events, per event. So the resulting planes can be roughly considered averages of the hypocentral locations respecting nodal plane orientations.
The Eastern Little Lake fault is truncated at bounding faults - the Airport Lake fault to the north and the Garlock fault to the South. The termination of the Southern Little Lake fault representation is simply controlled by aftershock density. The base of the faults is controlled by a regional seismogenic thickness surface, and the top by topography.
I plan to use the posted rupture trace maps to add the trace as a heavily weighted control to this workflow asap. Similarly, once event relocations are available it will be possible to rerun the workflow more carefully.
Let me also share a few time lapse animations in map and perspective views of the first four days of the sequence as we have developed a capability to animate object coloring based on stored times in our 3d modeling environment. I used fractional days in July as a time parameter and this is what is shown in the time scale bar. The length of the scale bar corresponds to the number of days each event keeps being shown after it occured. At the end of the time window events fade out.
The animations are on google drive in the animations folder:

Hi everyone,
Attached kmz is a quick compilation of my waypoints as lines. They are a first order approximation of many left stepping faults and cracks. As you can see from the kmz linework, I was not able to follow the main rupture trace that I started following from 178 to the more continuous trace to the SE. Hopefully, with better aerial imagery and more boots on the ground, that connection can be made. My solo effort, so far, suggests a left stepover. Roughly coincident with those end points are places where I observed shifted boulders and cobles. I saw similar shifted cobbles while I was mapping the El Mayor rupture trace. There, too, it eas at a stepover. Something to think about, if it is indeed true.
I walked almost the entirity of the rupture and made as many measurment as I could. Again, more boots on the ground can confirm them and make even more. Near the very southern end, slip does seem to end abruptly from about 1 m to nearly nothing. I remain amazed with the UAVSAR imagery from El Mayor. I am sure those images will really show what is happening at the S end. I did not have enough time to map all those cracks.
I was not able to follow the SW trace on its entirity, either. This should definitely be ground checked, unless it has already been done. My linework shows all I was able to do today.

Sentinel-1 InSAR products available at https://topex.ucsd.edu/SV_7.1/. Feel free to distribute.
I put together the linked presentation for a talk I gave this morning at a seismotectonics workshop. The materials are scavenged from where they were was publicly available (mostly twitter) and with hopefully appropriate attribution. Let me know if something needs to be corrected. Thanks to all for readily sharing results and ideas.
It is already a bit out of date but maybe something will be useful. PDF is here:http://bit.ly/2JAKVBY
PPT has a few videos hence the size:

Soon we will publish an article on SCEC.org for the Searles Valley sequence. We'd like to highlight the breadth and diversity of the response by featuring quotes from the SCEC community. To submit a quote for consideration, email me at ballmann@usc.edu. 2-3 lines about your experience and observations, using plain-language as best as you can. And, be sure to let us know how you'd like to be attributed (name, title, institution, response role, etc...).
Thanks!

Hi,
These InSAR scenes from Xu and Sandwell are supervaluable.
It is possible to get a kmz version of the interferograms? I'd like to compare my mapping of the mesh of faults on ARIA with the faults detected by the scene you shared.
Thanks!
Yesterday we deployed 3 more "semi-permanent" sites: 0806, GS11, and INYO. An updated KMZ file is attached.
Note: Benchmark TRN1 (Trona airport) seems to be gone. I took it off from the "suggested targets" list.
Yuri
KMZ file now includes sites measured by UNR and USGS. No more reports of GPS occupations that I am aware of.
File also contains suggested sites to target both on and off the base. Let me know (gareth@ucr.edu) if you are planning on measuring any of them, so that we can coordinate who goes where, and minimize duplication of effort!
For those who would like to model the ALOS-2 ascending InSAR data for the two earthquakes that was released by ARIA (JPL/Caltech) today, the necessary files (displacements, line-of-sight vector components, interferometric correlation) are available here:
