[1] We report the results of nearly 7 years of postseismic deformation measurements using continuously recorded and survey mode GPS observations for the 1999 Izmit-Duzce earthquake sequence. Resolvabl...
[1] By regressing simple, independent variables that describe climate and tectonic processes against measures of topography and relief of 69 mountain ranges worldwide, we quantify the relative importa...
Within the 2500 km stretch of the Himalayas, a narrow window between longitudes 88.185°E and 88.936°E in the frontal Himalayas in North Bengal, crisscrossed by several active fault traces, presents an...
We use vertical axis rotations from new paleomagnetic data to constrain off-fault deformation within the San Andreas fault system in central California. Samples were collected from 177 sites in the Mi...
We process rigorously GPS data observed during the past 25 years from continental China to derive site secular velocities. Analysis of the velocity solution leads to the following results. (a) The def...
We present the most extensive and up-to-date unified GPS velocity field for Iran. We processed the data collected during 10 yr (2006–2015) from the Iranian Permanent GNSS Network (IPGN) and combined t...
We present a spherical wavelet-based multiscale approach for estimating a spatial velocity field on the sphere from a set of irregularly spaced geodetic displacement observations. Because the adopte...
V-shaped conjugate strike-slip faults occur widely on Earth, Venus, and Mars in the solar system. They commonly lie at 60°–75° in map view from the maximum compressive stress (σ 1 ) direction. This fa...
To better constrain fault slip rates and patterns of interseismic deformation in the western Transverse Ranges of southern California, we present results from analysis of GPS and interferometric synth...
The paper concerns investigation of the credibility of tectonic interpretation of GNSS strain rates. The analysis was focused on stable regions, where the crustal deformations are small and the reliab...
The dynamic reshaping of tissues during morphogenesis results from a combination of individual cell behaviors and collective cell rearrangements. However, a comprehensive framework to unambiguously me...
The Altyn Tagh Fault (ATF) is one of the major left-lateral strike-slip faults in the northeastern area of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, the interseismic deformation across the ATF at 85°E was m...
The 2017 Jiuzhaigou Ms 7.0 earthquake occurred on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, with no noticeable rupture surface recognized. We characterized the pre-seismic deformation of the ear...
SSPX is a Macintosh, Cocoa/Universal application to compute strain from displacement/velocity data in two and three dimensions. SSPX solves small and large deformation problems, in either the undeform...
Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years well beyond the satel...
GPS measurements from sites within the Tibetan Plateau show not only east-southeast-west-northwest extension but also, more importantly, horizontal dilation throughout the interior of the plateau. Ass...
Despite its location in a convergent tectonic setting, the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile between 21°S and 25°S is dominated by structures demonstrating extension in the direction of plate conve...
Arc-parallel extension is an important component of the active deformation of the Himalaya. This extension is accommodated via arc-perpendicular normal faults linked to arc-parallel strike-slip faults...
Although the geometry and kinematics of the first-order structures accommodating Arabia-Eurasia convergence are relatively well known in Turkey and Iran, major shortening structures remain poorly unde...
Abstract We developed an open source software for crustal strain analysis using the least-squares collocation method based on the spherical model of the earth. The software is able to simultaneously d...
