Pan-European ground motion hazard information service in support of relevant policies aimed at protecting the citizen

Grant No.: NPA-GSE-4302-AP	Grant Agency: International project: PROJECT OF THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA) – GLOBAL MONITORING FOR ENVIRONMENT AND SECURITY (GMES) PROGRAMME
Resolved in: 2004 - 2008
Principal investigator: RNDr. Vladimír Schenk, Dr.Sc, Laboratory of Geodynamics, IRSM AS CR, v.v.i. Dr. Chris Browitt, ESA/GMES Terrafirma, Edinburg University, UK - geoscience expert Dr. Ren Capes – coordinator of the project ESA/GMES Terrafirma	Co-investigators: RNDr. Zdeňka Schenková, CSc., Ing. Pavel Kottnauer, RNDr. František Mantlík, Ing. M. Grácová
Description: The PS InSAR technology allows the vertical movements of individual places of the Earth’s surface to be obtained in high precision. The movement values are quite independent to other geological observations and geodynamic measurements realized in a field, thus it is necessary to compare these movement values with those obtained up to now by other geoscientific and geodetic methods. It is a reason why the IRSM team started to work with other European teams participated the project. It is expected that this new technology could contribute both geodynamic studies and application tasks of the urban and land planning as well as problems of any hazardous impact mitigations to anthropogenic structures. The project goals are divided to the following steps: a) an application of the PS InSAR technology to Prague and Ostrava and to Moravo-Silesian region, b) an identification of sites where the extreme vertical movements will be detected and a building of GPS observation sites on objects situated in the places to verify the extreme movements, and c) an explaination of possible origins of the extreme values with respect to all available geo-scientific materials and recent geodynamic data including previous GPS data. The IRSM team will explain and discuss the PS InSAR results and their correlations to geoscientific data with other specialists for the urban and land planning and hazard mitigation problems. Besides, direct applications of the results in recent practice and furter demands of similar investigations for other towns and areas of the Czech Republic will be clarified too.
