Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Reported fault slip rates, a key quantity for earthquake hazard and risk analyses, have been
inconsistent for the northern Dead Sea fault (DSF). Studies of offset geological and …

The present‐day motions in and around the Arabian plate involve a broad spectrum of
tectonic processes including plate subduction, continental collision, seafloor spreading …

Large earthquakes (magnitude≥ 7.0) are rare, especially along slow-slip** plate
boundaries. Lack of large earthquakes in the instrumental record enlarges uncertainty of the …

This paper presents an updated summary of the history and shallow structure of the Dead
Sea transform (DST) and its plate tectonic context. The DST formed in the Early Miocene as …

Abstract Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data are increasingly being used
to map interseismic deformation with ascending and descending‐orbit observations …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

We present a methodology for map** faults that constitute a potential hazard to structures,
with an emphasis on ground shake hazards and on surface rupture nearby critical facilities …

Crustal deformation and seismic activity in the Levant is mainly related to the interplate Dead
Sea Fault (DSF) and the intraplate Carmel–Gilboa Fault System (CGFS). In this study, we …
