Abstract: The epoch GPS observations performed in the framework of the Central Europe Geodynamics Project are used for estimation of the coordinates and velocities of monitored sites. The mathematical formulation of deformation analysis of Earth's crust is given. The results are presented in the form of ITRF site velocities, relative in-traplate velocities within the Eurasian tectonic plate and in the form of deformation characteristics like planar oriented linear elongation and surface dilatation.
