New constraints on Antarctic plate motion and deformation from GPS data

GPS geodetic constraints on Caribbean - North America plate motion

We describe a model for Caribbean plate motion based on GPS velocities of four sites in the plate interior and two azimuths of the Swan Islands transform fault. The data are well fit by a single angular velocity, with average misfits approximately equal to the 1.5-3.0 mm yr -• velocity uncertainties. The new model predicts Caribbean-North America motion -65% faster than predicted by NUVEL-1A, a...

On extracting commuter information from GPS motion data

Commuters rely on realistic and real-time information in order to optimize the time spent on commuting between home and work. Delays in (urban) transport and congestion for individual motorized transport are a major issue for unnecessary long travel times. While some of these delays occur randomly, there is also a systematic component. In this paper we describe a data-driven approach to analyze...

Deformation of the North American Plate Interior from a Decade of Continuous GPS Measurements

A combination of two independent geodetic solutions using data from close to 300 continuous GPS stations covering the central and eastern U.S. shows that surface deformation in the North American plate interior is best fit by a model that includes rigid rotation of North America with respect to ITRF2000 and a component of strain qualitatively consistent with that expected from Glacial Isostatic...
