     abstract = "{Mass redistribution of the Earth causes variable loading that deforms
        the solid Earth. While most recent studies using geodetic
        techniques focus on regions (such as the Amazon basin and the
        Nepal Himalayas) with large seasonal deformation amplitudes on
        the order of 1-4 cm due to hydrologic loading, few such studies
        have been conducted on the regions where the seasonal
        deformation amplitude is half as large. Here, we use joint GPS
        and GRACE data to investigate the vertical deformation due to
        hydrologic loading in the North China Plain, where significant
        groundwater depletion has been reported. We found that the GPS-
        and GRACE-derived secular trends and seasonal signals are in
        good agreement, with an uplift magnitude of 1-2 mm/year and a
        correlation of 85.0\%-98.5\%, respectively. This uplift rate is
        consistent with groundwater depletion rate estimated from GRACE
        data and in-situ groundwater measurements from earlier report
        studies; whereas the seasonal hydrologic variation reflects
        human behavior of groundwater pumping for agriculture irrigation
        in spring, leading to less water storage in summer than that in
        the winter season. However, less than 20\% of weighted root-
        mean-squared (WRMS) reductions were detected for all the
        selected GPS stations when GRACE-derived seasonal deformations
        were removed from detrended GPS height time series. This
        discrepancy is probably because the GRACE-derived seasonal
        signals are large-scale, while the GPS-derived signals are local
        point measurements.}",
