Abstract：The uplift of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has an important impact on the climate of China, Asia and the world. It is of great significance to study the crustal uplift rate of the TP. In this paper, using the gravity data of satellites with high coverage from 2004 to 2015, the rate of gravity change caused by crustal uplift is obtained by removing the gravity effect of land water storage. The distribution of crustal uplift rate is inversed based on the model between vertical deformation of vertical cuboid and gravity change on the TP. The results of the study show that the uplift rate of the TP is unevenly distributed at a spatial scale of 300 km. With the Gangdise-Tanggula Mountain-Xianshuihe River fault as the boundary, the uplift rate on both sides is quite different. To the south of the borderline, the average uplift rate of the area along the Himalayan thrust nappe belt is 2.01±0.87 mm·a-1, in which the uplift rates of the Indian Plate on the west and the Myanmar Plate on the east are 2.43 mm·a-1 and 2.89 mm·a-1, respectively. The uplift rate of the area between the two plates is about 0.69 mm·a-1. To the north of the borderline, except for the Tianshan area and the North China Plate, the uplift rate is about 1 mm·a-1, the rate is close to 0 mm·a-1. We found that both the rate gradient zones of uplift pass through the normal fault zone, one of which is from Kathmandu to the Tarim Basin and happens to pass through the normal fault zone inside the TP, the other of which is from the Naga Mountains to the Sichuan Basin and happens to be cross the Dali normal fault zone. The inversion rate of the uplift is in good agreement with the previous GPS observations, providing theoretical support for scientific issues such as uplift of the TP and crustal thickening of the crust.
