Mechanisms of crustal deformation
Journal of the Geological Society, 1983The energy source for crustal deformation is isotopic heating and secular cooling of the mantle. In a true solid, heat would be lost to the surface by conduction; however, solid-state creep processes allow the Earth’s solid mantle to exhibit a fluid behaviour. Thus, thermal convection can convert heating into directed motion.

Study of crustal deformation in India
Tectonophysics, 1972Abstract Investigations of crustal deformation at Koyna (near Poona) and Dakpathar (near Dehradun) were undertaken as a part of a research programme drawn up by the University of Roorkee. Possible applications of such studies and the general plans to be adopted for field measurements are briefly stated.

Introduction to modeling crustal deformation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1993This special section on Modeling Crustal Deformation presents a collection of research articles prepared by several participants in the AGU Chapman Conference on Time‐Dependent Positioning. The conference was convened September 23–25, 1991, in Annapolis, Maryland.

Plate motions and crustal deformation
Reviews of Geophysics, 1995Over the past 30 years, the plate tectonic paradigm has revolutionized the earth sciences through its powerful yet elegant quantitative treatment of large‐scale crustal deformation, and through its conceptually integrative role within the earth sciences.

Crustal deformation by earthquakes and explosions
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1970abstract Static displacements were calculated for an earth model which consists of a single layer of thickness H overlying a homogeneous half space. Localized sources simulating earthquake and explosion foci are placed at depths h=H2andh=32H.

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.
