Preparatory mechanism of Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake evidenced by crust-deformation data
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2011 Some crustal-deformation data related to the Ms8.0 Wenchuan in 2008, was described and a model that is capable of explaining the observed deformation features is presented.

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2016 The total capacity of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) and Danjiangkou Reservoir (DJR) is large and has significant seasonal fluctuations, which give rise to crustal instability.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The East Kunlun Shan (EKLS) in northern Tibet occupies boundaries of the low‐relief topography and lower crustal low‐velocity zone in the interior plateau, making it ideal for exploring the relationship of surface deformation with underlying geodynamic ...

Active tectonic deformation around the Tarim Basin inferred from dense GPS measurements
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2020 The surrounding area of the Tarim Basin is featured by active tectonic deformation and intense seismic activity. The study of the crustal deformation characteristics of this area will help revealing the role of the Tarim Basin in the crustal evolution ...

Analysis of Ocean Tide Loading in Differential InSAR Measurements
Remote Sensing, 2017 Ocean tide loading (OTL) causes crustal displacements in coastal regions, and the relative variation of these ground displacements may reach several centimeters across differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) interferograms. However,

Remote Sensing, 2016 Most current crustal deformation models do not account for topographic effects, crustal lateral variations, and complex fault geometries. To overcome these limitations, we apply finite element models constrained by interferometric Synthetic Aperture ...

The structure and kinematics of the ox mountains, western Ireland: a mid-crustal transcurrent shear-zone [PDF]
, 1989 The stratigraphy, structure and kinematics of the central and southwest Ox Mountains, a major mid-crustal shear zone, are described. The tectono-stratigraphic sequence has been established using a combination of structural and stratigraphic techniques ...

Crustal‐scale pure shear foreland deformation of western Argentina [PDF]
New analyses of teleseismic body waves from moderate earthquakes in western Argentina demonstrate that active shortening of the Andean foreland occurs on reverse faults extending to 40–50 km depth.

Crustal accretion at the Reykjanes Ridge, 61°–62°N [PDF]
We report results of a seismic, gravity, and magnetic survey of the Reykjanes Ridge spreading center at 61°–62°N, about 600 km from the center of the Iceland mantle plume.
