Crustal Deformation Observatory

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1981
Under the joint direction of the University of California at Los Angeles and San Diego, the Crustal Deformation Observatory project at Pinyon Flat, California, has completed its first year. The overall aim of this project, sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, is to evaluate and improve instrumentation for measuring long‐period (days to years ...

Crustal deformation in extensional regimes: Iceland, Nevada and SW Turkey [PDF]

, 1996
In 1991 a 23-point, 30 x 25 km, GPS geodetic network was established in the Hengill ridge-ridge-transform triple junction, SW Iceland. The GPS data were processed using the Bernese V3.2 software.

Research on seismicity and crustal deformation in the northeastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau: Current status and future prospect

地球与行星物理论评
The northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, as the primary tectonic front accommodating plateau expansion, represents a crucial region for investigating plateau uplift and lateral growth mechanisms.

Hydrothermal Degassing Through the Karakoram Fault, Western Tibet: Insights Into Active Deformation Driven by Continental Strike‐Slip Faulting

Geophysical Research Letters
The Karakoram fault (KKF) is an important strike‐slip boundary for accommodating deformation following the India‐Asia collision. However, whether the deformation is confined to the crust or whether it extends into the mantle remains highly debated. Here,

Dense-array ambient noise tomography of the eastern Tibetan Plateau: a high-resolution model of the crustal low-velocity zone and its tectonic evolution implications

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Cenozoic collision and convergence of the Indian and Eurasian plates have resulted in north–south crustal shortening, crustal thickening, and overall surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Crustal Structure of Active Deformation Zones in Africa: Implications for Global Crustal Processes [PDF]

Tectonics, 2017
AbstractThe Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas Mountains formed on the slow‐moving African continent, which last experienced orogeny during the Pan‐African. We synthesize primarily geophysical data to evaluate the role of magmatism in shaping Africa's crust. In young magmatic rift zones, melt and volatiles migrate

Research on the correlation between crustal deformation characteristics and impact geopressure in Hegang Mining Area based on INSAR monitoring

Meitan kexue jishu
Rock burst is the result of the coupling effect of geological dynamic environment and mining engineering disturbance. The crustal deformation characteristics of mining area are one of the important influencing factors of geological dynamic environment ...

Gravity changes and crustal deformations before the Menyuan, Qinghai Ms6.4 earthquake of 2016

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
In this study, the relative gravity data (2012–2015), GPS data-derived horizontal deformation (2011–2014) and the background vertical deformation from the leveling measurements (1970–2011) in the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau were processed to ...

Images of Early Continental Breakup in and around the Gulf of California and the Role of Basal Shear in Producing Wide Plate Boundaries [PDF]

, 2004
Active faulting in the northern Gulf of California occurs over a broad zone, 70 x 200 km, affecting two-thirds of the width of new crust that has formed there starting at 6 Ma.

Deformation Controlled Fluid Mass‐Transfer Processes in Ancient Orogens

Geophysical Research Letters
Despite abundant empirical evidence, the details of coupled deformation and mass transfer processes within a framework of the crustal architecture of ancient orogens remains enigmatic.
