Abstract

Approximately 4 yr of campaign and continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements across the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) in Lebanon provide direct measurements of interseismic strain accumulation along a 200‐km‐long restraining bend in this continental transform fault. Late Cenozoic transp...
