The convergence zone of the Eurasian (EURA) plate in Iberian Peninsula and North Africa (NUBIA) is primarily marked by activity between Betics Spain Rif Atlas mountain ranges Morocco, as well Alboran Sea. This area, where diffuse tectonics these plates are currently converging a NW-SE direction, presents several continuous fault zones, such Betic-Alboran-Rif shear zone, which experiences daily seismic activity, notably Alhucemas Bay (Nekor basin).

The convergence zone of the Eurasian (EURA) and North Africa plate (NUBIA) is primarily marked by activity between Betics in south Spain Rif Atlas Morocco. This area, where diffuse tectonics these plates are currently converging a NW-SE direction, presents several continuous fault zones, such as Betic–Alboran–Rif shear zone. Royal Institute Observatory Spanish Navy (ROA) operates geodetic stations various parts Africa, some particularly interesting locations, Alhucemas (ALHU) rock, also more...
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior an earth fill dam, analyzing deformations determined by high precision geodetic techniques and those obtained Finite Element Method (FEM). A large number control points were established around area measurements their displacements took place during several periods. In study, high-precision leveling GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) used monitor vertical horizontal respectively. Seven surveys carried out: February July 2008, March 2013,...
One of the most significant parameters for seismic hazard assessment analyses is fault slip rate. The combination both geological (long-term) and geodetic (short-term) data offers a more complete characterization potential active faults. Moreover, are also helpful tool analysis geodynamic processes. In this work, we present results local GPS network from Baza sub-Basin (SE Spain). This network, which includes six sites, was established in 2008 has been observed seven years. For first time,...
Abstract The central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain, is affected by an uplift related to the NNW–SSE Eurasia‐Nubia convergence and shallow ENE–WSW orthogonal extension accommodated extensional system of Granada Basin. combination geophysical, geodetic, geological data reveals that southwestern boundary this a seismically active compressional front extending from W SW near‐field Global Navigation Satellite System determine NNE–SSW shortening up 2 mm/yr in Zafarraya Polje. In setting, normal...
RTK networks can provide an active service through the computation and transmission of error correction data to support application location-based services that require high accuracy positioning, e.g. land surveying, precision agriculture, machinery control etc. At present, most used approaches generate NRTK (Network RTK) corrections are VRS (Virtual Reference Station) MAC (Master Auxiliary Concept). In Region Murcia (SE Spain), two GNSS (i.e. REGAM MERISTEMUM) available they use...
The Gibraltar Arc includes the Betic and Rif Cordilleras surrounding Alboran Sea; it is formed at northwest-southeast Eurasia-Nubia convergent plate boundary in westernmost Mediterranean. Since 2006, Campo de Dalias GNSS network has monitored active tectonic deformation of most seismically area on north coast Sea. Our results show that residual rates with respect to Eurasia range from 1.7 3.0 mm/year; roughly homogenous west-southwestward displacements northern sites occur, while southern...
Dams are essential structures in the growth of a region due to their ability store large amounts water and manage it for different social activities, mainly human consumption. The study structural behavior dams during useful life is fundamental factor safety. In terms monitoring, classic terrestrial techniques usually costly require much time. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology through persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) technique has been widely applied...
The Campo de Dalias is an area with relevant seismicity associated to the active tectonic deformations of southern boundary Betic Cordillera. A non-permanent GPS network was installed monitor, for first time, fault- and fold-related activity. In addition, two high precision levelling profiles were measured twice over a one-year period across Balanegra Fault, one most faults recognized in area. absence significant movement main fault surface suggests seismogenic behaviour. possible recurrence...
Abstract The Arenoso reservoir is created by an embankment dam, with central clay core, slates and greywacke shoulders. This kind of engineering structure subject deformation due to factors such as changes water level the reservoir, seat structure, climate changes, etc. In general, dam monitoring involves measurements both outside (external shell) inside structure. A number control points established around area displacements take place at several epochs. this study high-precision levelling...
Abstract The use of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) technology within the fields ecology and biology has increased over recent years. With Global Positioning System, GLObalnaya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, Galileo, BeiDou fully deployed, >140 satellites are currently available for high precision positioning applications. technological improvements in GNSS devices, mainly due to multi‐frequency capability, reduce signal acquisition time increase reliability, continuity,...
Nowadays, the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network, combined with network RTK corrections (NRTK solution), is a widely used technique for high-accuracy positioning in real time. This "active" realizes reference frame and propagates it to users. In border regions coherence between frames propagated by neighboring active networks critical problem. this study test results of post-processed simultaneous NRTK positions at six points located region Portugal Community Andalusia,...
For many countries, regional networks of Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) are the basic infrastructure to support needs users requiring positioning with centimeter-scale accuracy. However, nationwide NRTK (RTK Network) coverage is often not economically viable for countries large rural regions. In contrast, administrative reasons and social proximity sometimes several may cover same territory. station placement affects quality services cost network. Spain has a high density...
