Earth Skin Moves

Beginning with the historical development of plate tectonic theory, including Alfred Wegener's continental drift hypothesis, the book progresses to GPS data collection and analysis, and ultimately explores the implications for natural hazard assessment. Case studies demonstrate how GPS data informs responses to specific earthquake events, emphasizing the book's relevance to real-world applications.

The book's approach involves presenting complex concepts clearly, with maps and diagrams to enhance understanding. By focusing on regions with abundant GPS data, Earth Skin Moves offers a practical understanding of plate tectonics and its implications for seismic hazards and resource management, making it valuable for students, researchers, and professionals in Earth sciences.
