- W2003328875 abstract "Abstract The WEGENER group has promoted the development of scientific space-geodetic activities in the Mediterranean and in the European area for the last fifteen years and has contributed to the establishment of geodetic networks designed particularly for earth science research. WEGENER currently has three scientific objectives which are related to plate-boundary processes, sea-level and height changes, and postglacial rebound. In a full exploitation of the space-geodetic techniques, namely SLR, VLBI and GPS, the individual scientific projects do not only pursue these objectives but also contribute to improving and developing the observation techniques as well as the modelling theories. In the past, particularly SLR observations within WEGENER-MEDLAS have provided a fundamental contribution to determine the regional kinematics of the tectonic plates in the Mediterranean with high precision. With GPS, spatially denser site distributions are feasible, and in several WEGENER projects detailed studies of tectonically active areas were possible on the basis of repeated episodic GPS observations. Current projects associated with WEGENER are successful in separating crustal movements and absolute sea-level variations as well as in monitoring postglacial rebound. These tasks require high-precision height determinations, a problem central to all of the present WEGENER activities. In these projects, continuously occupied GPS sites are of increasing importance. Time series of heights observed with continuous GPS can be determined with a few centimeters RMS error thus enabling the reliable estimates of vertical rates over relatively short time intervals. Regional networks of continuous GPS sites are already providing results relevant, for example, for the study of postglacial rebound. The Mediterranean area is an extraordinary natural laboratory for the study of seismotectonic processes, and the wealth of observations acquired in previous WEGENER projects together with new space-geodetic observations will allow the test of geophysical hypotheses linking three-dimensional deformations of the Earth's surface to the dynamics of the Earth's interior. In particular, it is anticipated that WEGENER projects will aim at a test of the slab-detachment hypothesis. The complex investigations on sea-level fluctuations presently carried out at basin scale from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Black Sea make it possible to study the present and recent past interactions of ocean, atmosphere and solid Earth, as well as to develop appropriate models to assess future aspects." @default.
