Scientific paper

Terrestrial and space-related geodetic surveys have been initiated to assess the kinematics and dynamics of the Alps as part of the NASA Crustal Dynamics Program. Earth-based measurements include levelings, electronic distance measurements, gravity surveys, geodetic-astronomical observations using zenith cameras and tilt measurements with long baseline liquid-tube tiltmeters. The space segment comprises satellite laser ranging (SLR), VLBI and global positioning system data. The target area is along the Alpine-Mediterranean zones of plate boundaries, where the African and Eurasian plates rub against one another. Gravity profile Bourguer plots are presented for three regions of the Alps for which uplift rates and gravity values have been determined.
