Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

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) …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

We present tectonic reconstructions and an accompanying animation of deformation across
the North America–Pacific plate boundary since 36 Ma. Intraplate deformation of …

The Wasatch fault and adjacent fault zones provide an opportunity to compare present‐day
deformation rate estimates obtained from space geodesy with geologic displacement rates …

We investigate the distribution of active deformation in the northern Basin and Range
province using data from continuous GPS (CGPS) networks, supplemented by additional …

We have estimated patterns and rates of crustal movement across 800 km of the Basin and
Range at∼ 39° north latitude with Global Positioning System surveys in 1992, 1996, 1998 …

The increasing density of geodetic measurements makes it possible to map surface strain
rate in many zones of active tectonics with unprecedented spatial resolution. Here we show …

To illuminate rifting processes across the Transition Zone between the extensional Great
Basin and stable Colorado Plateau interior, we collected an east‐west profile of 117 …

The coexistence of shortening and extensional tectonic regimes is a common feature in
orogenic belts. The westernmost end of the Western Mediterranean is an area undergoing …
