Drivers of Holocene sea-level change in the Caribbean
We present a Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) database for the Caribbean region (5° N to
25° N and 55° W to 90° W) that consists of 499 sea-level index points and 238 limiting dates …

Geologically current plate motions
We describe best-fitting angular velocities and MORVEL, a new closure-enforced set of
angular velocities for the geologically current motions of 25 tectonic plates that collectively …

REVEL: A model for recent plate velocities from space geodesy
GF Sella, TH Dixon, A Mao - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Diverse magma storage and major and volatile magma composition: What are the implications on the eruptive style across a volcanic arc? An example of the Lesser …
Understanding variations in eruptive style and defining the processes and controls on
different eruption styles is particularly important at arc volcanoes. This is due to the range of …

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

Oblique collision in the northeastern Caribbean from GPS measurements and geological observations
Previous Caribbean GPS studies have shown that the rigid interior of the Caribbean plate is
moving east‐northeastward (070°) at a rate of 18–20±3 mm/yr relative to North America …
