摘要：

The Nepal region, between the Ganges plain and the Tibetan Plateau, shows the great effects of the orogenetic deformation which started between 40 and 55 Ma, following the collision between the Indian and Asiatic continental plates. Today the Himalayan chain and the Tibetan plateau are some of the best manifestations of the collision process. Data from a geodetic network in Eastern Nepal were employed to study the motion of the crust in this recently evolved area. The data were collected by means of the Global Positioning System; this geodetic space technique can achieve a centimetric resolution in coordinate definition and baseline computation for observation sites, even those located at long distances away and it provides a powerful new tool for the comprehension of the dynamics of active tectonic regions.
