The solid Earth deforms elastically in response to variations of surface atmosphere, hydrology, and ice/glacier mass loads. Continuous geodetic observations by Global Positioning System (CGPS) stations and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRA...
Surface vertical deformation includes the Earth’s elastic response to mass loading on or near the surface. Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS) stations record such deformations to estimate seasonal and secular mass changes. We used 41 CGPS st...
Recent studies have identified a near six-year oscillation (SYO) in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) surface displacements, with a degree 2, order 2 spherical harmonic (SH) pattern and retrograde motion. The cause is uncertain, with proposa...
Accurate estimation of terrestrial water storage change (TWSC) remains challenging in regions where hydrological variability interacts with complex geological conditions and intensive human activities. Taking the Loess Plateau (LP) in the middle Yell...
Complex tectonic and non-tectonic movements exist in the Tianshan area. However, we have not acquired good knowledge of such movements yet. In this study, we combine Global Positioning System (GPS), the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)...
Environmental loading, in particular from continental water storage changes, induces geodetic station displacements up to several centimeters for the vertical components. We investigate surface deformation due to loading processes in South America us...
Time-varying gravity observed by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites measures surface water and ice mass redistribution driven by weather and climate forcing and has emerged as one of the most important data types in measur...
In southern Tibet, ongoing vertical and horizontal motions due to the collision between India and Eurasia are monitored by large numbers of global positioning system (GPS) continuous and campaign sites installed in the past decade. Displacements meas...
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) provided valuable insights into variations in Groundwater Storage (GWS). However, the sensitivity of utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) time series displacement data for detecting changes in...
Hydrological drought, expressed as anomalously low water availability in rivers, aquifers, and reservoirs, poses a growing threat to water security in densely populated regions such as the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo (MRSP), Brazil. Characterizi...
GPS can be used to measure land motions induced by mass loading variations on the Earth’s surface. This paper presents an independent component analysis (ICA)-based inversion method that uses vertical GPS coordinate time series to estimate the...
Surface and deep potential geophysical signals respond to the spatial redistribution of global mass variations, which may be monitored by geodetic observations. In this study, we analyze dense Global Positioning System (GPS) time series in the Easter...
Modeling nonlinear vertical components of a GPS time series is critical to separating sources contributing to mass displacements. Improved vertical precision in GPS positioning at stations for velocity fields is key to resolving the mechanism of cert...
Against the backdrop of the increasing frequency of extreme hydrological events and persistent over-extraction of groundwater, the North China Plain (NCP) is facing significant land subsidence. This study systematically analyzed the surface subsidenc...
The continuing impact between the Eurasia Plate and India results in the thickening and shortening of the N-S Tibetan Plateau. There has been strong tectonic movement along the boundary of the zones of deformation of the NE corner of the Tibetan plat...
Almost half of the Earth’s land is covered by large river basins. Temporal variations of hydrological masses induce time-varying gravitational potential and temporal mass loading that deforms the Earth’s surface. These phenomena cause tem...
