Abstract: Abstract The independent analyses of GAMA (global positioning system (GPS) array in mid-America) data by Calais et al .1 demonstrate the difficulties in determining patterns of rational deformation within otherwise rigid plates. We are a long way from incorporating this type of information into seismic-hazard analysis, and we agree that longer time spans and improved spatial coverage with geodetic-quality data are required in order to gather the observations necessary to start modelling and understanding this enigmatic region.
