The Betic Cordillera is placed in the westernmost end of the Alpine Mediterranean belt and it is being deformed by the African and Eurasian convergence of the plates. The relative displacement between both plates in the Iberian Peninsula sector is approximately 4-5 mm / year in a NW-SE direction. This slow but constant approaching of the…
Land subsidence is a natural hazard that sometimes causes significant economic damage and great alarm. The causes of land subsidence are diverse and sometimes complex, and all lead to vertical deformations of the earth’s surface. These deformations can range from a few millimetres to several meters for periods ranging from minutes to years. This paper, in association…
Sixty per cent of human deaths caused by natural disasters in the past decade were due to earthquakes. Earthquake monitoring has assumed great importance in recent scientific studies and one of the most recent additions to the numerous inter-disciplinary techniques employed for studying earthquakes are GNSS technologies. GNSS technologies and permanent station networks have created…
