GPS DEFORMATION MEASUREMENTS IN THE GEODYNAMIC TEST NETWORK SÓSKÚT

Abstract

The Geodetic Institute of the University of Karlsruhe and the Department of Geodesy and Surveying of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics have been cooperating for 30 years in the field of deformation measurements and analysis. One of the common projects in this cooperation is related to the network of Sóskút which has been established to detect surface motions in the vicinity of a geological fracture. In the beginning terrestrial measurements have been carried out, while in recent years common GPS campaigns were organized in order to investigate the potential of the GPS technology in deformation measurements and analysis. The paper describes the development and the actual results of the joint project and points out the progress in methodology.
