Earth crust deformation continuous monitoring using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) local geodetic networks demands suitable computational and informatics tools based on solid scientific background. This is particularly true if geophysical applications are concerned. Applications like seismic hazard mitigation, subsidence and landslides monitoring requires the highest accuracy in positioning with as short as possible measurements sessions length. The GEOLOCALNET project, co-funded by the Galileo Joint Undertaking (GJU) under the 6th Framework Program and managed by a consortium of Research Unit (RU) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), investigates the three carriers based Galileo Satellite System positioning capability developing and validating innovative algorithms, models and estimation procedures.
The project addresses many and critical issues affecting precision and stability in GNSS processing strategies and promotes the usage of local geodetic networks for deformation evolution monitoring.
