Smooth estimate of the slip distribution for the Turkey-Syria earthquake sequence from GPS data provided by @NVGeodeticLab. Fault slip confined above 10 km depth, tapering near segment boundaries. There is a wide gap between the 2020 Mw 6.8 Elâzığ and 2023 ruptures.

New paper alert: GPS measurements show 0.5-0.6 mm/yr of extension across Las Vegas Valley. Seismic hazard is larger than previously realized. Results sensitive to postseismic deformation from large plate boundary earthquakes. #lasvegas @SeismoSocietyAm pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa…

Whopper M8.2 earthquake in Alaska moved GPS stations, revealing the broad pattern and extent of deformation. Stations near Denali NP ~900 km moved a few mm... See geodesy.unr.edu for more info and data.
