Landers Earthquake
The picture of the displacement field of the Landers
earthquake mapped by radar interferometry shows the cover page of Nature, Vol. 364, 8 July
1993, Issue no. 6433. It shows the surface displacement associated with the June 1992
magnitude 7.3 earthquake in Landers, California, USA, seen by interferometric processing
of two images from the ERS-1 satellite. One full-colour cycle in the interferometric
fringes represents a change of 28 mm in the ground-to-satellite range between pre- and
post-earthquake images. Solid lines show the surface rupture as mapped in the field.
