Specifically, we use the agglomerative clustering algorithm as an exploratory tool to investigate spatial patterns in GNSS regional velocities without the complexity of modeling a physical source. We present a continental-scale velocity field including all available GNSS data for two-time windows (pre-2014, 2018–2021) that represents two periods with different deformation patterns of the seismic cycle. We test two different preprocessing methodologies for the design of machine learning features from the GNSS-derived velocities. The first method uses the direction and magnitude of the secular rates as input features to the clustering algorithm. These results show a clustering spatially related to seismic cycle deformation, separating latitudinal segments with different velocities in the fore-arc and back-arc, as well as regions affected by postseismic relaxation. Thus, highlighting the effectiveness of this method for mapping first-order patterns of active deformation in a subduction zone, that are particularly related to variations on interplate coupling and postseismic transient deformation. In a more sophisticated approach, we use surface strain and rotational rates from GNSS velocities as features in the second methodology. Here, we develop a novel methodology to estimate strain and rotation rates accounting for the spatial heterogeneity of the GNSS-network. We determine the spatial scale at which these features are estimated by least sq","cbCaivHDeCcpPDHC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivHDeCcpPDHC","pdf",59180889,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Machine learning approach for GNSS velocity mosaics\n## Feature preprocessing strategies\n## Strain and rotation estimation with Bayesian model selection\n## Spatial correlation with seismic segmentation and geology","[{\"question\":\"How do the findings relate to tectonics and geology?\",\"answer\":\"The results show spatial correlations between fore-arc seismic segmentation and geological/structural domains across the arc and back-arc, supporting the influence of Andean structures on the observed deformation field.\"}]","Mosaicking Andean morphostructure and seismic cycle crustal deformation patterns using GNSS velocities and machine learning | PDF",1785893209,40,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":78,"head_meta":80,"extra_data":82,"updated_unix":28},"mosaicking-andean-morphostructure-and-seismic-cycle-crustal-deformation-patterns-using-gnss-velocities-and-machine-learning","",{"@graph":36,"@context":77},[37,54,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/mosaicking-andean-morphostructure-and-seismic-cycle-crustal-deformation-patterns-using-gnss-velocities-and-machine-learning/124591/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":41,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-05",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"How do the findings relate to tectonics and geology?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The results show spatial correlations between fore-arc seismic segmentation and geological/structural domains across the arc and back-arc, supporting the influence of Andean structures on the observed deformation field.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":79,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":81,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":84},[85,89,93,97,102,107,111,114,119,122,126],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":86,"show_sort_weight":87,"slug":88},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":90,"show_sort_weight":91,"slug":92},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":98,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":29,"slug":110},7,"Healthcare","healthcare",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":129},19,"General","general"]
