We have developed DEOS2k, a model for the current motion of seven major tectonic plates derived from space\u2010geodetic observations. This paper focuses on relative motion between Africa and Eurasia. In the past, this motion has been poorly established because of poor data coverage for Africa. DEOS2k is based on ITRF2000 [<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"#grl16853-bib-0002\"><jats:italic>Altamimi et al.<\/jats:italic>, 2002<\/jats:ext-link>] and new African GPS observations. It is an improvement over the NUVEL\u20101A model for predicting the present\u2010day relative motions of these two plates. DEOS2k predicts in northeastern Africa that Africa\u2010Eurasia relative motion is about 40% smaller in magnitude than NUVEL\u20101A and trends more to the northwest. This is consistent with independent local geodetic observations. A similar shift in orientation, clockwise, is observed at the western tip of the plate boundary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2003gl017089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,8,15]],"date-time":"2003-08-15T19:56:10Z","timestamp":1060977370000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":109,"title":["The relative motion between Africa and Eurasia as derived from ITRF2000 and GPS data"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"R.
