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…
One of the effects of earthquakes is the permanent displacement of the areas near the epicentre. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies and gnss permanent stations networks have created a tool and an essential terrestrial reference frame for the study of those displacements. This paper, in association with Albireo Topografia y Geomática, aims to use GNSS…
