DPC S5 - Test site Alto Tiberina fault

Roma, 24 marzo 2010

ObjectivesObjectives

• integrate GPS data from regional GPS networks

• homogeneous velocity field in terms of data processing and reference frame alignment

• distribution of the tectonic strain rate and the rate of strain accumulation of known active faults

• 4 new RING sites > 2.5 years old for ATF transect

• ATFO already active (since July 2009)

• 4: monument is done, will start logging today

• + 1 (or 2) to be done

- Updated Time series of the ATF sites

- Updated GPS velocity field of the region in both ITRF05 and Eurasia reference frames

- Updated map of strain rates

- Updated geodetic moment rate at the ATF sites

For the end of the project, we will provide:
