A geodetic plate motion and Global Strain Rate Model
We present a new global model of plate motions and strain rates in plate boundary zones
constrained by horizontal geodetic velocities. This Global Strain Rate Model (GSRM v. 2.1) …

Geologically current motion of 56 plates relative to the no‐net‐rotation reference frame
NNR‐MORVEL56, which is a set of angular velocities of 56 plates relative to the unique
reference frame in which there is no net rotation of the lithosphere, is determined. The …

Anatomy of the Andean subduction zone: three-dimensional density model upgraded and compared against global-scale models
A Tassara, A Echaurren - Geophysical Journal International, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We present an upgraded version of a previously published 3-D density model of the Andean
subduction zone between 18° S and 45° S. This model consists of 3-D bodies of constant …

Supercycle at the Ecuadorian subduction zone revealed after the 2016 Pedernales earthquake
Large earthquakes are usually assumed to release all of the strain accumulated since the
previous event, implying a reduced seismic hazard after them. However, long records of …
