Crustal deformation in western Sichuan region and implications for 12 May 2008 Ms 8.0 earthquake

We have established 65 GPS stations and derive a detailed horizontal deformation distribution in western Sichuan region, in conjunction with previous measurements at additional 90 stations. The resulting velocity field shows that strike‐slip fault system here plays a significant role in adjusting cr...
