RECENT DEFORMATION ANALYSIS PROJECTS OF THE GEODETIC INSTITUTE OF THE UNIVERSITY KARLSRUHE (TH)
Abstract
Within the framework of the project-related exchange program ProBrAl
founded by the German academic exchange service DAAD the German
researchers Michael Mayer and Andreas Knöpfler, both members of the Geodetic Institute of the University Karlsruhe (TH), gave an overview of two actually running research projects, which are using GPS measurements collected within observation campaigns in order to detect highly precise deformation rates. These two interdisciplinary projects are analysing the tectonic behaviour of the Earth’s surface in the highly active regions Antarctic Peninsula and Romanian Vrancea basin. Besides the data basis and the specific scientific goals, recent results were presented.
