The 12 May, 2008 Wenchuan M8.0 earthquake has been the most devastating earthquake since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Its epicenter lies in the central part of the continuous GPS observation network and in the area with dense non-continuous GPS stations. There were plenty of GPS observation data before and after its occurrence and coseismic displacements of the earthquake were detected at many stations of continuous GPS observations. These coseismic displacements are the most evident crustal movements characterized with abrupt, simultaneous and significant changes, directly related to the earthquake occurrence.
