DESCRIPTION: The project will work to acquire transient postseismic data from 2007-2014, which will be added to data from the Kuril GPS Array collected in 2006-2010. This data will be used to examine how much strain has been released, and to examine if it is possible to explain postseismic surface deformation with linear viscous mantle or a stress-dependent rheology.
