The recognition of transient compressional fault slow−slip along the northern shore of Hornsund Fjord, Sw Spitsbergen, Svalbard
This paper presents the results of direct 3−D fault displacement monitoring along the northern shore of Hornsund Fjord, SW Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The fault displacements have been recorded using three permanently installed optical−mechanical crack gauges since 2009. The monitoring data from all thre...
