TL;DR: In this article, the present-day tectonics in the Tibetan Plateau is best described as deformation of a continuous medium, at least when averaged over distances of.;100 km.

TL;DR: Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in China indicate that crustal shortening accommodates most of India's penetration into Eurasia, but the Tibetan plateau south of the Kunlun and Ganzi-Mani faults is moving eastward relative to both India and Eurasia.

TL;DR: Using the measurements of ∼726 GPS stations around the Tibetan Plateau, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors determined the rigid rotation of the entire plateau in a Eurasia-fixed reference frame, which can be best described by an Euler vector of (24.38° ± 0.42°N, 102.37° ± 1.0206°/Ma).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained the preliminary results of the crustal deformation velocity field for the Chinese continent by analyzing GPS data from the Crustal Motion Observation Network of China (CMONOC), particularly the data from regional networks of CMONOC observed in 1999 and 2001.

TL;DR: In this paper, GPS measurements indicate 5.1±2.5 mm/a left-lateral strike-slip rate along the Altun fault and 6.7 ± 3.0 mm/A along the Longmenshan fault.
