3D GNSS velocity field sheds light on the deformation mechanisms in Europe: Effects of the vertical crustal motion on the distribution of seismicity
Crustal deformation and seismicity in Europe are still poorly understood. Seismic activity is
classically ascribed to crustal strain rates generated by edge‐driven tectonic forces …
