Global Positioning System Constraints on the Plate Kinematics and Dynamics in Turkish Region

Entry ID: GEO_CORNELL_GPS

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: We present and interpret Global Positioning System (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 the African plate. Sites on
the northern Arabian platform move 18+- 2 mm/yr at N25 +- 5 W ...
