Compressional intracontinental orogens: Ancient and modern perspectives
Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
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) …

Locked and loading megathrust linked to active subduction beneath the Indo-Burman Ranges
Abstract The Indo-Burman mountain ranges mark the boundary between the Indian and
Eurasian plates, north of the Sumatra–Andaman subduction zone. Whether subduction still …
