In this study are reported estimates of the ground displacement associated with this event, using near-eld Global Positioning System (GPS) surveys in northwestern Sumatra combined with in situ and remote observations of the vertical motion of coral reefs ...

<p>The active deformation of the southwestern United States (30 - 41 N) is represented by a finite number of rotating, elastic-plastic spherical caps.</p>

<p>Partitioning of slip at oblique subduction zones is common and frequently results in lithospheric blocks being detached from the overriding plate. A method is described to solve simultaneously for both block rotations on asphere and locking on block-bounding ...

<p>We are using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to measure crustal deformation in western Oregon from which we infer strain rates in the overriding plate, the increase in the potential for earthquake slip on the Cascadia subduction fault, and how Oregon ...

<p>This paper is about the deformation above the Sumatra subduction zone that is revealed by Global Positioning System (GPS) geodetic surveys and shows nearly complete coupling of the forearc to the subducting plate south of 0.5 S and half as much to the north.</p ...
