We present and interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of crustal motions
for the period 1988–1997 at 189 sites extending east‐west from the Caucasus mountains to …

Location of largest earthquake slip and fast rupture controlled by along‐strike change in fault structural maturity due to fault growth

C Perrin, I Manighetti, JP Ampuero… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision
