Fault geometry of 2015, Mw7.2 Murghab, Tajikistan earthquake controls rupture propagation: Insights from InSAR and seismological data

- Mw7.2, 2015 Tajikistan event ruptures 79 km-long section of Sarez-Karakul fault.
- InSAR data show left-lateral slip on 3-segment solution in right-step configuration.
- Fault geometric complexity controls rupture propagation process.
- Back projection of high-frequency waves sharply focuses radiators on fault.
- Radiators' progression shows super-shear rupture on two linear segments.
