What drives vertical motions?
Strain partitioning versus oblique motion
Effects of pre-existing structures on the orientation and evolution of active
ones
Controversies: continued pull-apart extension, cessation of extreme
extension, dipping faults?
Fault bends, partially blind faults, slip partitioning, and oblique slip?
Quantitative structural models for meaningful comparisons of the North
Anatolian and San Andreas fault systems
How is stress accommodated and transferred during the earthquake cycle?
Vertical axis rotation and affect on displacement on domain-bounding
faults
Discriminating loading determined from GPS on sub-parallel deeply-
locked faults
Basin effects on GPS data (fluids, sediment compaction).
