Objectives
  1. to frame of Vrancea seismic area in the geotectonic context of alpine catens from Central Europe
  2. to determine crustal deformations which are relieved in Vrancea area and their correlation with seismic events from InSAR satellite data, reference measurements in GPS observation stations localized as possible in geologic stable areas
  3. modeling and quantifying surface crustal deformations regarding the confirmation of the hypothesis about the existance of lithospheric plate fragment subduction process where the most seismic events take place
  4. to compare GPS observation data and seismicity and geodezic baseline studies over Vrancea active zone by the determination of geodezic coordinates of the points in which GPS measurements have been done and geodynamic interpretation of the obtained results in order to determine geodynamic models and to obtain their correlation with seismic events
  5. to precise localize deformation areas end to evidence the directions and crustal blocks movement speed in order to determine or to confirm high seismic risk areas
  6. to elucidate geodynamic theories for the high seismic risk Vrancea zone and in particular to clarify the state of the lithospheric plate fragment and the possible sepration of it, also to investigate the coupling/decoupling state of Carpathians by the determination of crustal deformation parameters and those which define earth flows for Vrancea zone
