Alpine Integrated GPS Network: Real-Time Monitoring and Master Model for Continental Deformation and Earthquake Hazard
(ALPS-GPSQUAKENET)
Start date: Dec 31, 2003,
End date: Dec 30, 2006
PROJECT
FINISHED
The use of modern space based techniques gives us new potential to monitor and prevent natural risk, reduce economic losses, and save lives.The aim of the ALPS-GPSQUAKENET is to build up a high-performance transnational space geodetic network of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in the Alpine Space. This GPS array, within the millimeter-per-year precision, will represent the first ever installed transnational space geodetic network involving Italy, Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and Slovenia. This will support the use of space based techniques since it will satisfy the performance required by all the GPS applications (crustal deformation for earthquake potential, meteorology, landslide monitoring, agriculture, navigation, transportation, mapping, surveying, recreation & sports…).The transnational structure comprising both the geoscientists and end-users will provide an excellent means for the cross-training and interaction of regional employees and young scientists.
