Abstract

The interseismic strain across the Altyn Tagh Fault at 85°E has been measured using 59 interferograms from 26 ERS‐1/2 SAR acquisitions on a single track for the period 1993–2000. Using an atmospheric delay correction that scales linearly with height, we estimate the left‐lateral strike‐slip motion t...
