“…For the territory of the North Caucasus in 2005-2019, according to GNSS data, estimates of vertical movements were obtained [84]. Due to the small territorial coverage of the region, it is generally very difficult to compare the results in detail with studies of the It can be seen that uplifts are characteristic of positive relief forms, while subsidence is observed in intermountain depressions.…”

This paper analyzes and reviews the rapid uplifts of the Earth’s crust in the Caucasus that occurred over the last century. The uplifts were registered by precise repeated state leveling and reflected on officially published maps of vertical movements of the Earth’s crust. This study summarizes information on the region’s vertical movements over more than a century. The present study describes the technology for creating maps of recent vertical movements of the Earth’s crust using precision leveling data. This paper summarizes cases of recording uplifts of the Earth’s surface in other regions of the world in connection with seismic activity. The authors carried out intercomparison of vertical movements with tectonics, seismicity, and geophysical fields, which discovered their apparent mutual correspondence. This indicates the deep tectonic nature of the observed uplifts of the Earth’s crust. Spatial and temporal agreement with the distribution of strong earthquakes showed a natural relationship. It has been shown that strong earthquakes are confined to the boundaries of zones of rapid uplift. They occur predominantly in areas of transition between uplifts and subsidence. The results obtained demonstrate the role of the study and observations of vertical movements of the Caucasus in assessing periods and areas of increased seismic hazard.

Based on the data from GNSS sites located in Fennoscandia, for the period from the mid-1990s to the present, an analysis of the region’s geodynamics was carried out. For the first time, an extended data set was used, including field observations of the Satellite Methods Laboratory for Studying Geophysical Processes of IPE RAS and sites of the fundamental astronomical geodetic network. It enabled expanding the area of post-glacial rebound modeling in the eastern part of Fennoscandia. As in many previous studies, a vertical velocity field was obtained with a maximum uplift rate of 10 mm/year, located in the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia. In addition, for the eastern regions of Fennoscandia, a lane of compression deformations of the earth’s surface was revealed. The highlighted lane marks the transition zone from the vaulted uplift area to the East European platform.
