      This study investigates present-day fault slip rate on the southern Dead Sea Transform, a major tectonic structure in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is based on a dense campaign-style GPS network, distributed along profiles perpendicular to the fault. We also provide new insights about relative kinematics of Arabia, Nubia, and Sinai plates. 

      This work is part of a larger project that Maryline has worked on during her PhD, which chief goal is to better understand seismic behavior of strike-slip faults from the determination of fault slip rate at different time scales along a single fault segment. More...
