GPS measurements of crustal deformation associated with the 22 April 1991, Valle de la Estrella , Costa Rica earthquake

Results are presented for analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements made at sites in Costa Rica in February and July 1991. Significant horizontal and vertical displacements relative to February positions were observed. Differences were found in GPS derived vertical and horizontal displacements as compared to other types of geodetic measurements of uplift in the coastal regions. A slip dislocation model which fits the GPS measured displacement was computed. Differences between these data sets and their associated models were investigated in light of unmodeled slip heterogeneity on the fault and post-seismic displacements.

Particle acceleration in cosmic plasmas; Proceedings of the Workshop, Bartol Research Inst., Newark, DE, Dec. 4-6, 1991

The present volume on particle acceleration in cosmic plasmas discusses transport theory, particle acceleration in the sun, heliosphere, and galaxy, particle acceleration at nonrelativistic shocks, and stochastic particle acceleration. Attention is given to particle acceleration in relativistic flows and shocks, simulations, composition and sources of high-energy cosmic rays, electron acceleration, and observation priorities and perspectives. Topics addressed include particle acceleration in the magnetosphere, particle transport from a turbulence perspective, numerical simulations of time-dependent cosmic ray mediated shocks, and solar flare plasma. Also discussed are relativistic shock waves and the excitation of plerions, ion acceleration at collisionless shock interactions, ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays from Fanaroff Riley, and constraints on electron acceleration in the Crab Nebula.
