“…1). The Biak Fault Zone is shown to be a young feature by incising the youngest Pliocene sequences and recent sedimentation within the Biak Basin is controlled by activity along the faults (Bertoni and Garcia 2012;Memmo et al 2013). Recent seismicity along the Biak Fault Zone exhibits a distinct dextral slip component along the fault zone.…”

environment. Already foundering carbonate platforms due to environmental deterioration were left vulnerable to submergence and eventually succumbed to drowning. Low rates of carbonate production were outpaced by the rate of relative sea-level rise caused by high-amplitude oscillations in global glacio-eustatic sea-level change and/or regional tectonic subsidence. The duration of the drowning event across the entire Bird's Head region is interpreted to have lasted a duration of approximately 9.5 My, between 18.0 and 8.58 Ma. This has implications when interpreting timings of sedimentary basin fill across western New Guinea and in other basins where carbonate platform drowning is recorded.

“…On the other hand, there are many areas that still lack enough GPS measurements to provide well‐constrained block velocities, in which case the uncertainties are considerable. The Yapen fault zone (YFZ), as expressed in the Biak Basin, actually consists of two parallel, active sinistral faults striking WNW‐ESE and separated by a 30 km zone of complex faulting (Memmo et al., 2013). The GPS sites on Yapen Island (POM2 and YAPE) are affected by this complex internal deformation on the island, causing the relatively large modeling residuals at these two sites.…”

Regions with active tectonic activity like the IANGCZ are often delineated in global plate models as "deforming zones" (Kreemer et al., 2014) or "orogens" (Bird, 2003), for which crustal motion data are excluded from the determination of the otherwise rigid plate motion. Even as early as the 1970s, however, it was recognized that such areas of deformation are often themselves usefully described in terms of discrete "microplates" (e.g., Alvarez et al., 1974;Dewey et al., 1973), relatively small-scale blocks with little internal deformation except near
