G11: Plate Motion and Plate Boundaries We seek geodetic and geologic studies on plate motion, microplate =20 motion, and how they relate to elements in the deforming zones between =20= the plates=97faults, slip, great earthquakes, and mountains and rifts =20= generated by active deformation. In addition to well-studied regions =20 and plates, we specifically solicit abstracts that address plate =20 motions and plate boundary deformation in the more remote areas of the =20= world, where data are limited. Among the questions we seek answer are: =20= How accurately can we measure plate motions today using geodesy? What =20= is the impact of uncertainties in geocenter motion, or in models of =20 GIA and other non-tectonic processes on the estimation of plate =20 motions? What are the proper uncertainties in plate motion estimates, =20= especially where data are sparse? What fraction of plate motion is =20 being taken up on major faults, and what fraction is being taken up by =20= distributed permanent strain that is becoming part of the geologic =20 record? Are deforming belts better described by microplates or by a =20 homogeneous medium? Do estimates of plate motion from magnetic =20 anomalies, transform azimuths, and earthquake slip vectors differ =20 significantly from those from GPS, VLBI, SLR, and DORIS?
