The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

The long‐term average velocity field of the western United States is computed with a
kinematic finite element code. Community data sets include fault traces, geologic offset …

The Alborz mountain range in northern Iran is part of the active and seismic Alpide belt,
where assessing seismic hazards is crucial due to the region's history of large instrumental …

Seismic and geodetic moment-rate comparisons can reveal regions with unexpected
potential seismic hazards. We performed such a comparison for the Southeastern Iberia …

Geodetic and seismological data are crucial for examining the kinematics and active
tectonics in structural zones. The current tectonic stress field can be inferred from the focal …

The aim of this paper is to determine the strain rate tensor (SRT) for the Iranian region. In this
study,(1) we apply a method of computation of the SRT never used for the Iranian area and …

Abstract The Eastern California shear zone is an active, north-northwest–trending zone of
intraplate right-lateral shear that absorbs∼ 25% of Pacific-North America relative plate …

By combining the seismogenic environment, seismic recurrence periods of strong historical
earthquakes, precise locations of small–moderate earthquakes, and Coulomb stress …

Crustal movements and deformation within the diffuse Pacific–North America (Pa-NA) plate
boundary are dominated by the right-lateral motion between the two plates. By using the Pa …

A comparative analysis of geodetic versus seismic moment-rate estimations makes it
possible to distinguish between seismic and aseismic deformation, define the style of …
