The great Aceh-Andaman earthquake of December 26, 2004 and its tragic consequences
brought the Sumatran region and its active tectonics into the world's focus. The plate tectonic …

The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not experienced any significant (> Mw
7.2) subduction interface earthquakes since historical records began∼ 170 years ago …

Abstract The India‐Eurasia collision zone is the largest deforming region on the planet;
direct measurements of present‐day deformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) …

The subduction zone in northern Chile is a well-identified seismic gap that last ruptured in
1877. The moment magnitude (M w) 8.1 Iquique earthquake of 1 April 2014 broke a highly …

The range of fault slip behaviors near the trench at subduction plate boundaries is critical to
know, as this is where the world's largest, most damaging tsunamis are generated. Our …

The GPS‐derived velocity field (1988–2005) for the zone of interaction of the Arabian,
African (Nubian, Somalian), and Eurasian plates indicates counterclockwise rotation of a …

The East African Rift (EAR) is a type locale for investigating the processes that drive
continental rifting and breakup. The current kinematics of this~ 5000 km long divergent plate …

The GPS velocity field in the North Island of New Zealand is dominated by the long‐term
tectonic rotation of the eastern North Island and elastic strain from stress buildup on the …

The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise map** of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …
