Short description of project
We propose to extend and update existing hardware and Software facilities in 14 countries of Central Europe to an interdisciplinary multi-Purpose GNSS sensor array for environmental monitoring. Data acquired during the last 8 years will be supplemented by this proposal which ensures monitoring during the next decade. Primary products are weekly coordinates and hourly zenith delay estimates and discrete values for epoch stations. Analysis of long term coordinate time series allows for the monitoring of crystal movements, the derivation of velocity fields and of geo-kinematics models and strain fields. Sub-regional campaigns investigate seismic active regions for hazard detection and possible mitigation. Hourly zenith delays act as a possible input for European weather forecast models. A by-product for public use is data for real-time navigation and precise positioning, a web-based seamless data bank will report on the results. 
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
Researchers from Department of Geoinformation Science (led by Prof. Dr. Damir Medak) and Department of Hydrography (led by Prof. Dr. Boško Pribičević) performed GPS-measurements on geodynamic points on Hvar Observatory and Brusnik, as well as on Geodynamic GPS-Network of the City of Zagreb. Damir Medak led the Special Study Group "Plitvice Lakes", where hydrographic, geodetic and geologic research has been conducted.
