Determination of the recent rotation poles of the main tectonic plates on the base of GNSS data

The main goal is to determine and analyze the recent rotation poles of the main tectonic plates based on measurements of continuous GNSS stations for the period of 2002–2021. Using procedures based on the method of the least squares, we suggested an algorithm to determine recent rotation poles of tectonic plates on the basis of processing time series of daily solutions of continuous GNSS stations. The algorythm was implemented in the MathCAD software package. It uses, generalizes, and modernizes the approaches presented in previous studies.
