Constraints on the viscosity of the continental crust and mantle from GPS measurements and postseismic deformation models in western Mongolia

We use GPS measurements and models of postseismic deformation caused by seven M6.8 to 8.4 earthquakes that occurred in the past 100 years in Mongolia to assess the viscosity of the lower crust and upper mantle. We find an upper mantle viscosity between 1 × 1018 and 4 × 1018 Pa s. The presence of suc...
