Figure 1

Velocities observed at continuously-recording (solid arrows) and campaign (empty arrows) GNSS stations used in this study to infer Euler vectors for the South China (SC, in black) microplate motion relative to Eurasia during the periods from January 2002 to December 2004 (in red), and from January 2015 to December 2017 (in blue). All GNSS stations are labeled: italics is used for campaign GNSS stations available during the earlier time period, bold for continuous GNSS stations, and bold-italics for the four continuously recording sites available for both the earlier and later time periods. The black beach ball shows the epicentre and USGS focal-mechanism solution of the 2008 MW7.9 Great Wenchuan earthquake. Turquoise dots are aftershocks. This figure was created utilising the Generic Mapping Tools version 6 (https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/)64.
