TL;DR: In this article, a geodetic horizontal velocity field consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts is derived to discuss the boundary conditions around each major deforming area in the Mediterranean, to describe the main patterns of motion and deformation, to critically review the existing kinematics models and to finally point out the main unresolved kinematic questions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a velocity field for Western Europe and the Western Mediterranean derived from a rigorous combination of a selection of sites from the ITRF2000 solution, a subset of site from the European Permanent GPS Network solution, and a solution of the French national geodetic permanent GPS network (RGP) in the western Alps (REGAL).

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal distribution of slip during the 2010 Chile mega-earthquake was retrieved through a joint inversion of teleseismic records, InSAR and High Rate GPS (HRGPS) data.

TL;DR: Stamps et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that present-day data (a GPS+DORIS geodetic solution and earthquake slip vectors) are consistent with 3.2 Myr-average spreading rates and transform-fault azimuths along the Southwest Indian Ridge and support a kinematic model that includes three subplates (Victoria, Rovuma, and Lwandle) between Nubia and Somalia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence from radiocarbon data and field observations that western Crete was lifted above sea level, by up to 10m, synchronously with the AD-365 earthquake.
