In this study, we utilize C-band Sentinel-1 radar images from 2015 to 2022, combined with interseismic horizontal GNSS velocities, to construct large-scale, high-resolution, 3-D velocity and strain rate maps over a vast region of southern Tibet. We show the distribution of prevailing dilatational strain accumulation along the seven major rift zones. Using 2-D elastic dislocations invoking a two-fault model in a Bayesian framework, we quantified the decadal extension rates across the seven rift zones, and we suggest a total extension rate of 18.4 ± 1.7 mm/yr, consistent with geological and geodetic estimates. The resulting strain rate maps, combined with the earthquake catalog, help us identify areas with high earthquake potential. Our study enhances our understanding of the present-day tectonics and kinematics in southern Tibet and provides important constraints for seismic hazard assessment in this region.
