Continental rifting is fundamental to the theory of plate tectonics, yet the force balance driving Earth's largest continental rift system, the East African Rift (EAR), remains debated. The EAR actively diverges the Nubian and Somalian plates spanning ∼5000 km N-S from the Red S…
A high proportion of the poor reside in mountainous areas in Morocco. Soil erosion caused by unsustainable land use practice has been accelerating the loss of land productivity. Technologies including remote sensing, geographic information systems (GISs), global positioning syst…
Here we present crustal velocities from Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements made. between 1991 and 1997 at 56 sites throughout eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG). From these measurements, we interpret the relative motions of the plates and fault slip rates in …
This report covers the investigation made to establish a service of differential positioning GPS which provides cover to The Valencian Community to cartographic users. For this aim, primary the referential frame in which we could use a service of this characteristics is analysed…
The Lebanese restraining bend is a 200 km long bend with a left lateral sense of slip located along the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) between 33.2 and 34.6 degrees north latitude. The DSFS is a transform plate boundary fault system accommodating the differential northward movemen…
