  • Continuously monitoring of Horizontal and Vertical movements in vulnerable areas due to earthquakes and volcanic activities is vital. These geohazard activities are the result of a slow deformation rate at the tectonic plate boundaries. The recent development of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology has made it possible to attain a millimeter level changes in the Earth's crust. This study used continuously observed GPS data at the flank of Ol Doinyo Lengai volcanic Mountain to determine crustal motion caused by impinging volcano from mantle convention. We analyzed 8 GPS observed from June 2016 to Dec 2019 using a well-documented Global Kalman Filter GAMIT/GLOBK software. The resulting velocity from GAMIT/GLOBK analysis was then used to compute the relative motion of our study area with respect to Nubia plate. Our analysis discovered a minor motion of less than 5mm/year in both horizontal and vertical components.

  • The GNSS coordinate time series is used as important data for geophysical analysis such as terrestrial reference frame establishment, crustal deformation, Earth orientation parameter estimation, etc. However, various factors may cause discontinuity in the coordinate time series, which may lead to errors in the interpretation. In this paper, we describe the discontinuity in the coordinate time series due to the equipment replacement for domestic GNSS stations and discuss the change in movement magnitude and velocity vector difference in each direction before and after discontinuity correction. To do this, we used three years (2017-2019) of data from 40 GNSS stations. The average magnitude of the velocity vector in the north-south, east-west, and vertical directions before correction is -12.9±1.5, 28.0±1.9, and 4.2±7.6 mm/yr, respectively. After correction, the average moving speed in each direction was -13.0±1.0, 28.2±0.8, and 0.7±2.1 mm/yr, respectively. The average magnitudes of the horizontal GNSS velocity vectors before and after discontinuous correction was similar, but the deviation in movement size of stations decreased after correction. After equipment replacement, the change in the vertical movement occurred more than the horizontal movement variation. Moreover, the change in the magnitude of movement in each direction may also cause a change in the velocity vector, which may lead to errors in geophysical analysis.

  • 1990년 이래로, GPS 기술은 지각 움직임 연구에 적용되어 왔으며 본 논문은 반복된 GPS 관측으로부터 (1995-1998) Cam Lo 단층(Quang Tri province, Vietnam)의 지각 운동에 대한 연구 결과를 설명하였다 연구 대상지역은 위도 N 16 40' 10", 경도 E 106 58' 40"의 Vietnam 중앙부에 위치하며 그 규모는 상대적으로 작다. GPS네트워크는 6개의 관측점들로 이루어져 있으며 기선거리는 3-11 km이고, 3개의 tectonic 지역에 위치한다. GPS 데이터 획득은 1995년 5월과 1998년 3월에 두 개의 캠패인으로 모든 관측점들에서 수행되어졌다. 연구결과, 좌표 변화와 표준편차를 고려할 때 대상지역이 움직이고 있었고, 수평 변화보다는 수직 변화가 더 크게 발생하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 지질 전문가에 Cam Lo 단층지역의 지구물리 해석에 흥미로운 자료를 제공할 것이고 베트남의 단층 활동 연구를 고무시킬 것으로 기대된다. 것으로 기대된다.
