Short summary
We utilize two decades of continuous GPS data to investigate crustal deformation in Romania, a region that has long been regarded as tectonically stable. Despite the end of major collisions millions of years ago, subcrustal earthquakes and active faults indicate ongoing strain. We estimate horizontal and vertical velocities, strain rates, and dominant deformation styles. Our results reveal localized uplift and extension in the foreland, linked to slab dynamics beneath the southeast Carpathians.
