Abstract
In order to research contemporary crustal movement of Antarctica, China has constructed the deformation monitoring network in the Fildes Strait region, West Antarctica, monitored the network by using DI-20 geodimeter and GPS instruments, and participated the Antarctic GPS Campaign Observation organized by SCAR as well. During mathematics processing of crustal horizontal deformation observations, a method to bring deformation parameters into the error equations of observations is discussed in this paper. Several classical deformation models, such as rigid body displacement and strain, are introduced. By analyzing the reference datum of static and dynamic geodetic network, the method is developed to set up different additional weight matrix for every different kind of parameter. A series of programs are developed to implementing the method mentioned above and the analysis of West Antarctic Fildes Strait deformation monitoring network. Discussion is also made of GPS monitoring data by using the principle of monitoring network strain analysis in the paper. The research results indicate that the displacement did occur in Fildes rift region, but the displacement was not large, just a slight rift shear movement.
