*Geodesy of Intraplate faults*It is a pleasure to invite you to submit an
abstract as a contribution to the IASPEI - Regional Assembly
(Latin-American and Caribbean Seismological Commission - LACSC-): “*Geodesy
of Intraplate Faults*” session, that will be held from June 20 to 22, 2016,
in Costa Rica ( <http://www.lacsc2016.com/ingles/index.html>
<http://www.lacsc2016/>http://www.lacsc2016.com/ingles/index.html).

*The deadline for submission is February 15, 2016.*

*Recent temporary and permanent installations of geodetic networks in the
Caribbean and Latin America are to shed light on the rate of activity not
only of active tectonic margins but also of intra-continental faults, which
may**not be always smaller or slower than the plate boundary faults. The
North Andean Block (NAB) seems to be an interesting natural laboratory in
that sense, but The Greater Antilles region may result to be as amazing, as
well as regions undergoing strain partitioning. To better bracket the slip
rate of these faults is a critical issue in Seismic Hazard Assessments
(SHA). We particularly seek presentations that deals with the design,
implementation and follow-up of GPS networks in the region for the
observation of active intra-continental faults, but also contributions
showing slip-rate results that may have an actual impact on SHA.*
