  abstract = {{O}n {J}uly 13, 1994, an earthquake {M}s = 7.3 occurred at {M}alekula, in the {N}ew {H}ebrides archipelago. {T}he {GPS} data collected across the {N}ew {H}ebrides trench between 1990 and 1996 were processed in order to separate the interseismic and coseismic motions from the drifts related to the convergence with the {A}ustralian plate. {T}he {GPS}-derived coseismic displacements at the {GPS} site in {M}alekula are 49 = 15 mm southward, 230 = 30 mm westward and 170 = 37 mm downward, when the {CMT}-derived displacements are 50 mm southward, 210 mm westward and 150 mm downward. {T}aking into account the interseismic strain accumulation (25 mm/yr at the source established from historical seismicity, 7.5 mm/yr at the {GPS} site), the strain-free convergence rate at {M}alekula is 49 = 3 mm/yr. {O}ther {GPS}-derived convergence rates are 95 = 1 mm/yr at {E}fate and 37 = 2 mm/yr at {S}anto. {T}hese rates imply a regional right-lateral motion between the {E}fate and the {S}anto-{M}alekula segments. {I}n contrast, the focal mechanism of the earthquake mostly indicates a lift-lateral motion. {T}herefore, we hypothesize that the earthquake is related to variations in the interplate coupling along the converging boundary of the {S}anto-{M}alekula segment.
