TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1997 at 189 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains to the Adriatic Sea and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate to the northern edge of Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report geodetic measurements of the Tien Shan, using the Global Positioning System (GPS), that indicate that the current crustal shortening rate is nearly half of India's convergence rate with Eurasia in this area.

Kuzikov,Thomas A. Herring,Michael W. Hamburger,Bradford H. Hager,Yamin Dang,V. D. Bragin,Rinat T. Beisenbaev +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that at the longitude of Kyrgyzstan the Tarim Basin converges with Eurasia at 20 ± 2 mm/yr, nearly two thirds of the total convergence rate between India and Eurasia.

A global empirical model for near real-time assessment of seismically induced landslides
M. A. Nowicki Jessee,Michael W. Hamburger,Kate E. Allstadt,David J. Wald,Scott M. Robeson,Hakan Tanyas,Mike Hearne,Eric M. Thompson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new globally applicable model for seismically induced landslides based on the most comprehensive global dataset available; they use 23 landslide inventories that span a range of earthquake magnitudes and climatic and tectonic settings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the role of dextral strike-slip and normal faulting in the Muji-Tashgorgan graben of the Chinese Pamirs.
