To better understand the mechanism of the Mw6.3 L’Aquila (Central Italy) earthquake occurred in 2009, global positioning system (GPS) and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data were used to derive the coseismic slip distribution of the earthquake fault. Firstly, based on the homogeneo...
