Abstract
Recent space geodetic station velocity solutions of different techniques are combined in a common global adjustment to estimate lithospheric plate rotation vectors and to model regional crustal deformations. Kinematic datum parameters (3D rotation vectors) and relative weights are estimated for each technique in the combination procedure. The overall kinematic datum is realized by a “no net rotation” constraint. The result provides an Actual Plate Kinematic Model (APKIM) including twelve major plates (only Cocos plate is missing) and the regional deformation pattern in four plate boundary zones (Mediterranean, Japan, California, South American Andes).
