Abstract

This paper presents results from an analysis of GPS observations made by the Kamchatka regional GPS network (KAMNET) in relation to the Olyutorskii earthquake and plate interaction. The coseismic changes were interpreted for the Olyutorskii earthquake and its largest aftershock (May 22, 2006, M W = 6.6) within the framework of a dislocation source in an elastic half-space.
