     abstract = "{The Tibetan Plateau (TP) exhibits millimeter-scale vertical crustal
        deformation, detected through Global Positioning System (GPS)
        measurements. Concurrently, significant terrestrial water loss
        in High Mountain Asia contributes to plateau uplift via
        hydrological loading. After accounting for loading-induced
        uplift, it remains unclear whether the TP continues to
        experience significant tectonic uplift. To resolve this, a
        global hydrological mass change field was reconstructed using
        satellite observations and hydrological models, rather than
        relying on the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)
        data, to quantify vertical loading displacement rates for
        correcting GPS vertical velocities. Furthermore, a GPS imaging
        technique that incorporates the spatial structure function (SSF)
        was used to generate a tectonic deformation image of the TP. The
        results indicate that the TP is not experiencing uniform and
        significant tectonic uplift; instead, regional crustal
        subsidence is observed. The mean tectonic uplift rate is only
        0.31 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 0.32 mm/yr, which is smaller than the
        0.46 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 0.08 mm/yr contributed by loading and
        glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).}",
