Abstract 

The research reveals a geodynamic phenomenon in continental Europe in December 2019. The subsidence of GNSS stations lasted from 4 to 10 days. The linearity of the phenomenon spreading from west to east is established. Maximum subsidence reaches near 30 mm, and daily average from up to 5 mm per day. The analysis of the phenomenon is performed as well as maps of its distribution are constructed. Analyzing the reduction of the height of GNSS stations, the relationship between subsidence and the thickness of the Earth's crust is traced. In the future, this phenomenon needs further research and explanation.
