Active convergence of the India‐Burma‐Sunda plates revealed by a new continuous GPS network
Abstract The Rakhine (Arakan)‐Bangladesh megathrust, along which the Indian and Burma
plates collide, is assumed by some to be inactive/aseismic due to the lack of notable …

New GNSS and geological data from the Indo‐Burman subduction zone indicate active convergence on both a locked megathrust and the Kabaw Fault
Abstract The Indo‐Burma subduction zone is a highly oblique subduction system where the
Indian plate is converging with the Eurasian plate. How strain is partitioned between the …
