Present-day kinematics of the Mediterranean: A comprehensive overview of GPS results
JM Nocquet - Tectonophysics, 2012 - Elsevier
I combine recently published GPS results to derive a geodetic horizontal velocity field
consistent at the scale of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Alpine belts. The velocity …

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) …

Active faulting and transpression tectonics along the plate boundary in North Africa
M Meghraoui, S Pondrelli - Annals of Geophysics, 2012 - hal.science
We present a synthesis of the active tectonics of the northern Atlas Mountains, and suggest a
kinematic model of transpression and block rotation that illustrates the mechanics of this …
