Kinematics of the Central Mediterranean Plate Boundary, Internal Deformation of Sicily and Interseismic Strain Accumulation Across the Messina Straits

摘要

In this work we present a new velocity field, obtained by analyzing continuous GPS(CGPS) stations operating in the Mediterranean area (updated to September 2007)and epoch GPS (EGPS) stations in the 1991-2006 time span, particularly denser inthe Iblean plateau and across the Messina Straits.
