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) …

Isostasy, dynamic topography, and the elevation of the Apennines of Italy
The elevation of an orogenic belt is commonly related to crustal/lithosphere thickening.
Here, we discuss the Apennines as an example to show that topography at a plate margin …
