SURFACE DEFORMATIONS IN SAKHALIN FROM GPS DATA
In the framework of global plate tectonics, a system of major north-south trending faults in Sakhalin is regarded as the Eurasia- North America tectonic plate boundary [1]. According to continuous GPS measurements performed since 1995 at reference stations in the north, middle, and south of the isla...

In the framework of global plate tectonics, a system of major north-south trending faults in Sakhalin is regarded as the Eurasia- North America tectonic plate boundary [1].

The sense of motion agrees with convergence of these plates at Sakhalin and the velocity is about 50 –100 % of the velocity of convergence [3].
