Crustal deformation in the Wharton Basin
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973A group of short, linear structural depressions occurs in the Wharton basin in the northeast Indian Ocean. Depth to acoustic basement exceeds 7500 meters in at least one of the deeps. Bathymetric and seismic data indicate that the deeps may be grabens produced by crustal extension and thinning.

A Crustal Deformation Network using GPS
1990This paper describes the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements of the Port Alberni network, established to monitor crustal deformation on the west coast of Canada. A total of 28 independent baselines varying in length between 18 km and 116 km were observed with Texas Instruments TI4100 receivers in the 10-station network. The overall

Measuring the Boundary of Crustal Deformation Area by InSAR
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019Boundary and area information could be used to study various interesting relations of multiple disasters such as "magnitude-area" relation for earthquakes. In this paper, a new method using InSAR-derived interferograms to determine the boundary of the crustal deformation area is introduced.

Crustal deformation due to Alaska–Yakutat collision
Journal of Geodynamics, 2008Abstract The region of Alaska and adjacent northwest Canada is tectonically active and is subjected to multiple tectonic processes including plate subduction and terrane accretion. These tectonic processes and the forces originating thereof are responsible for high seismicity in the region and deformation of the crust.

Fluids, tectonics and crustal deformation
Tectonophysics, 1985Abstract In the plate tectonic process, lithosphere creation at ocean ridges and its cooling leads to volatile fixation in the oceanic crust. The outer 10 km or so of all crust contains abundant water in pores and fractures and variable amounts of volatiles in minerals.

Crustal Deformation and Fractals, a Review
1994The frequency—magnitude statistics of earthquakes have long been known to satisfy the Gutenberg—Richter relation; it is easy to show that this relation is fractal with D=1.8–2. Since it is generally accepted that individual faults have characteristic earthquakes, it follows that the number—size statistics of faults are also fractal.

Earth Crustal and Mantle Deformation
1974One of the more interesting aspects of geophysics, and also unfortunately one of the least susceptible to theoretical description, has to do with the deformation of the earth’s crust and upper mantle through geologic time. The surficial features of these deformations and related processes are readily apparent in continents and ocean basins, island arcs

Numerical Models of Crustal Deformation
1978Several tectonic features in Southern California cannot be directly explained by the plate tectonic interpretation for the region. In particular, both the existence of the Transverse Ranges and the geometry of the San Andreas fault imply a stress pattern deviating from the simple horizontal shear, which parallels the spreading between the Pacific and ...
