Carpathian fold system

Monitoring crustal deformations in Carpathian fold system

The main territory of Ukraine is located on stable Eastern European platform but some parts are also in the Mediterranean zone: Carpathian fold system and Foldedbrylova Building Mountain Crimea. These tectonic structures are characterized by seismicity. Monitoring such seismic active regions is great interest for geodynamic study. Nowadays, monitoring of these regions is more available with development and distribution of GNSS technology. The Department of Geodesy and Astronomy of Lviv Polytechnic National University operate several reference GNSS stations in Carpathian region.
