Characteristics of block strain and fault movement in the Sichuan-Yunnan region before and after Wenchuan earthquake

Deformation characteristics of the Sichuan-Yunnan region during the two periods 1999—2007 and 2007—2009 are analyzed with a block deformation model and GPS velocity profiles. The results show that the direction of the principal compressive strain rate of the Northwest-Sichuan block - the Mid-Yunnan...
