Journal ArticleDOI
GPS‐derived strain rate field within the boundary zones of the Eurasian, African, and Arabian Plates
Hans-Gert Kahle,Marc Cocard,Yannick Peter,Alain Geiger,Robert Reilinger,Aykut Barka,George Veis +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the GPS velocity field (1988-1998) for eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor to determine the crustal deformation strain rate field in an area bounded by 35°N and 43°N, and 20°E and 48°E.
Journal ArticleDOI
A recent tectonic reorganization in the south-central Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, new geodetic data combined with seismicity, geologic and geochemical information document a major tectonic reorganization in the central Mediterranean around 0.8-0.5 Ma, when rapid trench migration and consequent Tyrrhenian back-arc extension which dominated the region's evolution since the Tortonian (10−8 Ma) essentially stopped.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal motion and deformation in Greece from a decade of GPS measurements, 1993–2003
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new detailed high-quality solution of continuous and campaign-type measurements acquired between 1993 and 2003, where a special effort was made to obtain consistent results with highest possible accuracies and reliabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
New GPS constraints on the Africa‐Eurasia plate boundary zone in southern Italy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed new GPS measurements carried out between 1994 and 2001 and presented the results in terms of time series, trajectories and velocities of crustal motion, as well as a geodetic strain rate field.
Journal ArticleDOI
New constraints on the rapid crustal motion of the Aegean region: recent results inferred from GPS measurements (1993–1998) across the West Hellenic Arc, Greece
M. Cocard,Hans-Gert Kahle,Y. Peter,Alain Geiger,G. Veis,S. Felekis,Demitris Paradissis,H. Billiris +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the most recent observations of crustal motion across the entire West Hellenic Arc (WHA) based on repeated GPS measurements carried out in the period from 1993 to 1998.
