Description:
Within the aim to evaluate the present day crustal deformation of central western Mediterranean and northern Africa, a regional GPs network was planned and measured in the frame of the Tyrgeonet and Algeonet projects. We analyse GPS data collected at ten geodetic monuments located in Algeria, together with the Villafranca, Roquetes, Cagliari, Matera and Noto IGS permanent stations. This GPS network is deployed in a crucial area for the comprehension of the Western Mediterranean geodynamics, being located along the collision belt between the Eurasian and African plates. Moreover, some of the Algerian stations are located in the inner Algeria, along the Atlas deformed zone that released strong seismic events in the past, not yet studied by space based geodetic techniques. Other four stations are located in the tectonically stable of the Algerian erg. In this paper we describe the network and the data analysis of the first epoch surveys performed during june 1998.
