A decade of GPS in Southeast Asia: Resolving Sundaland motion and boundaries

A unique GPS velocity field that spans the entire Southeast Asia region is presented. It is based on 10 years (1994–2004) of GPS data at more than 100 sites in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The majority of the horizontal velocity vectors have a demonstrated global accuracy of ?1 mm/yr (at 95% confidence...

Microblock rotations and fault coupling in SE Asia triple junction (Sulawesi, Indonesia) from GPS and earthquake slip vector data

The island of Sulawesi, eastern Indonesia, is located within the triple junction of the Australian, Philippine, and Sunda plates and accommodates the convergence of continental fragments with the Sunda margin. We quantify the kinematics of Sulawesi by modeling GPS velocities and earthquake slip vectors as a combination of rigid block rotations...

India and Sunda plates motion and deformation along their boundary in Myanmar determined by GPS

Using a regional GPS data set including ?190 stations in Asia, from Nepal to eastern Indonesia and spanning 11 years, we update the present?day relative motion between the Indian and Sundaland plates and discuss the deformation taking place between them in Myanmar. Revisiting measurements acquired on the Main Boundary Thrust in Nepal, it appears...
