Prof. Dr. Robert Weber, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics (IGG), Technical University, Vienna

Ing. Milada Grácová

Description:

Project aims in geodynamic studies of interactions between the Alps and the Bohemian Massif based on GPS observations and their relations to geological structures and geophysical fields in this area. Further goal, it leads to establish a close cooperation based on the recent activities carried out by both research institutes applying GPS technology for regional geodynamic investigations as well as their geological and geophysical interpretations. Attention will be given to the following items 1) GPS observations at permanent and epoch stations and joint processing of observed data, 2) compilation of geological, geophysical and geodetic database for the regional and local areas of both geological structural units to verify geodynamic interpretations, 3) applications of mathematical and statistical methods in the GPS data processing to increase accuracy of time series and, in that ways, site motion determinations, 4) assessments of geodynamic processes going recently on between the Alps and the Bohemian Massif and 5) explanation of geodynamic motions in a viewpoint of recent geological processes of the studied area. The collaboration between both Institutes will be directed in the following ways: realization of joint research projects, exchange of observed GPS data and their mutual geodynamic interpretations for research purposes only, joint publishing of obtained results, exchange of specialists, preferably graduates and post-graduate students.
