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.

TL;DR: In this article, an elastic block model was developed to constrain present-day plate motions (relative Euler vectors), regional deformation within the interplate zone, and slip rates for major faults.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report geodetic measurements of the Tien Shan, using the Global Positioning System (GPS), that indicate that the current crustal shortening rate is nearly half of India's convergence rate with Eurasia in this area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main tectonic features of the Eastern Mediterranean region combining the recent information obtained from GPS measurements, seismicity and neotectonic studies are reviewed, including the internal deformation in Eastern Anatolia by conjugate strike-slip faulting and E-W trending thrusts.
