GPS constraints on continental deformation in the Armenian region and Lesser Caucasus

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract We present the 1998–2009 GPS-derived velocity field for the Armenia region based on a survey-mode observation network of 31 GPS sites. We combine our results with previous GPS studies of the region to better assess the deformation of the Lesser Caucasus and Kura basin region.
