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 …

Deepwater fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are classified into near-field stress-driven Type 1
systems confined to the sedimentary section, and Type 2 systems deformed by either far …

We describe best-fitting angular velocities and MORVEL, a new closure-enforced set of
angular velocities for the geologically current motions of 25 tectonic plates that collectively …

A global set of present plate boundaries on the Earth is presented in digital form. Most come
from sources in the literature. A few boundaries are newly interpreted from topography …

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) …

We present a new global model for Recent plate velocities, REVEL, describing the relative
velocities of 19 plates and continental blocks. The model is derived from publicly available …

We present an updated synthesis of the widely accepted 'single-arc Pacific-origin'and
'Yucatán-rotation'models for Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico evolution, respectively. Fourteen …

Global positioning system data from southern Central America and northwestern South
America were collected during 1991, 1994, 1996, and 1998 in Costa Rica, Panama …

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 …

Restraining-and releasing bends with similar morphology and structure have been
described by many previous studies of strike-slip faults in a variety of active and ancient …
