We present a map of the coseismic displacement field and slip distributions resulting from the Yushu earthquake on 14 April 2010 in Qinghai, China. The wide coverage of ScanSAR data helps in increasing the opportunity of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations of a specific location on Earth, estimating surface slip, and constraining slip distribution on the fault plane. We increased InSAR sensitivity to the horizontal and vertical surface displacements by combining ascending and descending interferograms. We find that the maximum left-lateral surface slip is 166 cm at similar to 9.7 km WNW of Yushu. The end-to-end length of surface and subsurface faults is about 73 km, and the estimated lengths of the two surface fault lines are 30 km and similar to 9 km. Slip distribution on a fault plane inverted from InSAR data shows an almost pure left-lateral strike-slip, with two slip peaks near the epicentres and Yushu and a maximum slip of similar to 2.6 m. No postseismic deformation is observed southeast of the source region; however, we detected a significant postseismic displacement northwest of the source region. The deformation area is located a few kilometres northwest of the coseismic displacement area observed around Longbao Lake, suggesting that the coseismic slip and the postseismic slips are spatially isolated.
