We present the results of an inversion of space geodetic data for slip in the coseismic and postseismic periods of the 2004
Parkfield earthquake. The data is a combination of InSAR data from the ENVISAT and RADARSAT satellites, and campaign and
continuous GPS measurements. The InSAR data consists of eight interferometric pairs spanning the earthquake and
variable-length portions of the pre- and post-seismic periods. We fit a model including an interseismic slip rate, coseismic
offsets from the San Simeon and Parkfield earthquakes and a post-Parkfield earthquake exponential decay to daily time series
of the GPS-derived displacements. We use the results of the GPS time-series fit for the Parkfield coseismic offsets and
amplitudes of the postseismic exponential decay in the joint inversion.
The model used in the inversion assumes that slip in the postseismic period evolves as an exponential decay and we
simultaneously solve for coseismic slip and the amplitude of the postseismic exponential. With this model formulation, the
distribution of postseismic slip is not allowed to change with time, only its magnitude. The model resolves nearly equal
amounts of slip for the coseismic and postseismic time periods. This result underlines the importance of aseismic slip in
the slip budget for the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault. The two periods also show an inverse correspondence in
their slip distributions. The coseismic rupture occurred mainly in two high-slip asperities; the smaller occurring near the
hypocenter and the larger occurring 10-20 km north. Shallow postseismic slip took place mainly on the fault areas
surrounding the coseismic rupture, including the rupture areas of two Mw5.0 aftershocks.
