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 …
