TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the following relative, geodetic Euler vectors (latitude (°N), longitude(°E), rate (°/Myr, counterclockwise) for Arabia-Nubia (31.7 ± 0.2 mm/yr, left lateral; 0.8-1.5 mm/r, right lateral, increasing from north to south; 1-2 mm /yr extension).

TL;DR: GPS measurements adjacent to the southern Red Sea and Afar Triple Junction, indicate that the Red Sea Rift bifurcates south of 17 degrees N latitude with one branch following a continuation of the main Red Sea rift (similar to 150 degrees Az.) and the other oriented more N-S, traversing the Danakil Depression as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Using a combination of laser ranging and GPS data acquired between 1969 and 1997, this paper derived a separation velocity for the Somali and Nubian plates in Ethiopia (4.5±1 mm/yr at N108±10E).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that coherent motions of points in Yemen, Bahrain, Oman, and Iran allow them to estimate a geodetically constrained angular velocity for the Arabian plate (52.59°N, 15.74°W, 0.461°/Myr in ITRF2000).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the Tadjoura-Asal-Ghoubbet rift system in light of a time series of geodetic measurements from 1978 through and found that the opening near the southern tip of the Red Sea is almost totally accommodated in the Afar depression.
