dc.description.abstract	GPS is quite unlike any other geodetic technique, because we can use it to look at the Earth with high spatial and temporal resolution. For example, the GPS global network provides us with a daily snapshot of the Earth, allowing us to look with high temporal resolution at the motion of sites before, during, and after a large earthquake.The main focus of this paper is to view the Earth as an evolving polyhedron, whose vertices are defined by the GPS sites.	en_US
