Identifying the Recurrence Patterns of Nonvolcanic Tremors Using a 2‐D Hidden Markov Model With Extra Zeros
Nonvolcanic tremor activity has been observed in many places worldwide. In some regions, their activity was observed to accompany slow slip events. Before examining whether and how nonvolcanic tremor activity is related ... -
Evaluating deep subsidence in a rapidly-accreting mangrove forest using GPS monitoring of surface-elevation benchmarks and sedimentary records
Ultimately, the fate of mangrove forests depends on substrate-elevation gains keeping pace with relative sea level rise (RSLR). Some of the world's largest mangrove forests occur on tectonically active margins, river deltas ... -
A geodetic study of Otago: results of the central Otago deformation network 2004–2014

Sea Level Rise in New Zealand:The Effect of Vertical Land Motion on Century‐Long Tide Gauge Records in a Tectonically Active Region
Historically tide gauge (TG) data have been used to estimate global sea level rise. Critical to the analysis of TG records is the assumption that the TG sites are stable and not affected by vertical land motion (VLM). We ...
