The ocean exerts a pervasive influence on Earth's environment. It is therefore important that
we learn how this system operates (NRC, 1998b; 1999). For example, the ocean is an …

A global set of present plate boundaries on the Earth is presented in digital form. Most come
from sources in the literature. A few boundaries are newly interpreted from topography …

We present a new global model for Recent plate velocities, REVEL, describing the relative
velocities of 19 plates and continental blocks. The model is derived from publicly available …

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 …

We use geodetic techniques to study the India‐Eurasia collision zone. Six years of GPS data
constrain maximum surface contraction rates across the Nepal Himalaya to 18±2 mm/yr at …

We investigate crustal deformation in southwest Japan over a 3‐year period revealed by a
permanent dense Global Positioning System (GPS) array. Southwest Japan is a part of the …

Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements collected since the early 90's allow us to
derive geodetic velocities at 16 permanent stations in east Asia and 68 campaign mode …

Using up to 11 years of data from a global network of Global Positioning System (GPS)
stations, including 12 stations well distributed across the Pacific Plate, we derive present …

Fifteen GPS stations in the Batan‐Luzon area were surveyed three times during 1996 to
1998. In order to study crustal deformation in the Taiwan‐Luzon region, the data from these …

We use Global Positioning System (GPS) velocity data to model eastern Asian plate
kinematics. Out of 15 stations in Korea, Russia, China, and Japan studied here, three sites …
