The formulary also enables estimation of local vertical
crustal motions at tide gauge stations that are not monitored by collocated GPS stations.
This finding further confirms
crustal motions that could destabilize methane hydrates contained in the permafrost.

crustal motions show 3D earth models are needed to understand Antarctic ice mass change.
Three papers focus on the Craig earthquake and examine the main shock, aftershocks and
crustal motions.
This finding is significant, Konfal said, because we use
these crustal motions to understand ice loss.
Computer models can give a good estimate of mantle flow and crustal uplift, he said, and GNET's mission is to make those models better by providing direct observations of present - day
crustal motion.
