Based on highly precise GPS data, this paper investigates the relationship between the Kangding earthquakes (M_W6.3 and M_W5.8, in November 2014) and the changes in crustal movement and strain energy in the surrounding area. First, the data was collected from continuous GPS observation sites in the Kangding seismic and surrounding regions (99.6°-105.2°E, 27.8°-33.0°N). We then calculated the velocity at the observation sites and determined the crustal movement and principal strain rate fields for specific grid points (0.4°×0.4°) using the fitting calculation of a rigid-linear elastic motion equation. Second, based on the obtained results, we discuss the movement field characteristics and strain field changes in the Kangding seismic region and explore their relationship with earthquake preparation. The results show that the study area is associated with strain energy accumulation prior to the Lushan M_S7.0 earthquake in 2013. In contrast, the area exhibits strain energy release and adjustment after the Lushan earthquake. It is proposed that the Kangding earthquakes are a product of tectonic adjustment in the study area.
