For various geodetic and geophysical applications, users need to have access to a plate
motion model (PMM) that is consistent with the ITRF2014 frame. This paper describes the …

The ITRF2008 velocity field is demonstrated to be of higher quality and more precise than
past ITRF solutions. We estimated an absolute tectonic plate motion model made up of 14 …

Unlike the past International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) versions where global long‐
term solutions were combined, the ITRF2005 uses as input data time series (weekly from …

The hierarchy of reference frames used in the International GPS Service (IGS) and the
procedures and rationale for realizing them are reviewed. The Conventions of the …

We estimate a global plate motion model for 17 major and minor tectonic plates solely on the
basis of analysis of data from 106 globally distributed continuous GPS stations, spanning the …

We present a new GPS-derived 3D velocity field for the Fennoscandia glacial isostatic
adjustment (GIA) area. This new solution is based upon∼ 3,000 days of continuous GPS …

A present-day plate kinematic and crustal deformation model is needed as a reference
system for station velocities in the ITRF. The common rotation of all points of the Earth …

We examined the sensitivity of estimates of global sea-level rise obtained from GPS-
corrected long term tide gauge records to uncertainties in the International Terrestrial …

Geodetic datums and geodetic systems play an important role in surveying and mapping
engineering. Geodetic datums refer to the reference surfaces, reference points, and their …

Space geodesy data are used to verify whether plates move chaotically or rather follow a
sort of tectonic mainstream. While independent lines of geological evidence support the …
