Scientific paper

The contribution concerns with analysis of detailed information from the results of space geodesy (GPS) in the region of Mediterranean sea enclosing the results of till now not processed and published observations in quasipermanent network of the sites in Egypt. (It was made possible by agreement between the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics in Egypt and the Research Center of Earth Dynamics in Czech Republic). A main topic in WEGENER's project activities is observation of geodynamic processes of the European-Mediterranean region, northern Africa and Asia Minor, by (space) geodetic techniques. The geodynamic setting of the region is formed by the convergence of the three major lithosphere plates (Eurasia, Africa and Arabia). In the plate boundary zones a variety of subduction and collision processes are active. The cotribution contains actual results of processing of the observations in Egypt together with selected sites of permanent EPN network in region of eastern part of Mediterranean sea. Results of analyses confirm model presumption of mutual activities between African, Arabic and Euroasian plates.
