Summary
From a geodetic point of view, the detection of areas within the Earth's crust that are strongly deformed can be seen as the first step in locating zones needing more precise study. In such studies, the datum problem of estimated velocities plays a key role in the geodynamical interpretation of results. In this paper, we will briefly present the advantages of an analytical surface deformation theory to describe movements of the Earth's crust and discuss the results of the deformation analysis based on the GPS (Global Positioning System) campaigns carried out in the area of the Adriatic Sea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
