Abstract On January 19, 2020, an Mw 6.0 earthquake occurred in Jiashi, Western China. The epicenter was located at the basin-mountain boundary between the southern Tian Shan and the Tarim Basin. Many strong earthquakes occurred in this region, such as the 1997 Jiashi strong earthquake swarm. In this study, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) was used to obtain the coseismic deformation field from the ascending and descending Sentinel-1A satellite data of the European Space Agency. The results showed that the coseismic deformation was distributed along the Kalpingtag fault and the Ozgertaou fault. The earthquake produced significant deformation over an area of approximately 40 km by 30 km. The long axis of the deformation was near the east-west direction. The maximum and minimal displacements along the line of sight (LOS) were 5.3 cm, 7.2 cm and -4.2 cm, -3 cm for the ascending and descending interferograms, respectively. The slip model inverted by the steepest descent method demonstrated that the rupture process of this earthquake is dominated by a thrust fault. The slips were concentrated in a depth of 3.5 ~ 6.5 km. The maximum slip was 0.29 m. The estimated total seismic moment was 1.728×1018 Nm, corresponding to a magnitude of Mw 6.09. The inversion revealed that the coseismic rupture was located at the transition zone between the shallow high-dip fault and the deep detachment fault. The geometry of the coseismic rupture is direct evidence of the deep attitude of the Kalping fault, indicating the possibility of independent earthquakes at the shallow ramp-to-flat transition zone of an orogenic belt. The coseismic Coulomb stress changes have enhanced the stress on the deep margin of the Jiashi earthquake rupture area, indicating that there is still the possibility of another strong earthquake in this region in the future.
