Global Positioning System constraints on plate kinematics and dynamics in the eastern Mediterranean and Caucasus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1997 at 189 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains to the Adriatic Sea and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate to the northern edge of Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Positioning System measurements of present-day crustal movements in the Arabia-Africa-Eurasia plate collision zone

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1994 at 54 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains of southern Russia, Georgia, and Armenia to the Aegean coast of Turkey and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate (Pontus block) to the northern edge of a platform.

Izmit (Turkey) Earthquake of 17 August 1999: First Report

TL;DR: The largest and most destructive earthquake to occur in Turkey since the 1939 Erzincan earthquake occurred on the western extension of the North Anatolian Fault, on a segment that has been identified as a "seismic gap".
Journal ArticleDOI

Lunar Crust: Structure and Composition

TL;DR: Lunar seismic data from artificial impacts recorded at three Apollo seismometers are interpreted to determine the structure of the moon's interior to a depth of about 100 kilomneters in the Fra Mauro region of Oceanus Procellarum.
