A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model

C Kreemer, G Blewitt, EC Klein - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones

Relative sea level changes and regional tectonic evolution of seven coastal areas in NW Greece since the mid-Holocene

A Vött - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2007 - Elsevier
This study presents relative sea level (RSL) curves for seven coastal areas in Akarnania and

An integrated global model of present-day plate motions and plate boundary deformation

C Kreemer, WE Holt, AJ Haines - Geophysical Journal …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth's
surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model …

Crustal velocity and strain-rate fields in Italy and surrounding regions: new results from the analysis of permanent and non-permanent GPS networks

E Serpelloni, M Anzidei, P Baldi… - Geophysical Journal …, 2005 - academic.oup.com

GPS‐derived strain rate field within the boundary zones of the Eurasian, African, and Arabian Plates

HG Kahle, M Cocard, Y Peter, A Geiger… - Journal of …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
We use the GPS velocity field (1988–1998) for eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor to
determine the crustal deformation strain rate field in an area bounded by 35° N and 43° N …

3D GNSS velocity field sheds light on the deformation mechanisms in Europe: Effects of the vertical crustal motion on the distribution of seismicity

J Piña‐Valdés, A Socquet, C Beauval… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Crustal deformation and seismicity in Europe are still poorly understood. Seismic activity is
classically ascribed to crustal strain rates generated by edge‐driven tectonic forces …
