Description:
The project ”Geosciences in Iberia: Integrated stud
ies of topography and 4-D evolution Topo-Iberia”
(Ref.CSD2006-00041) is supported by the Spanish Min
istry for the Economy and Competitiveness. Its
objective is to understand the interactions in the
Iberian Peninsula (SW Europe) between deep, shallow
and atmospheric processes, through a multidisciplin
ary approach linking Geology, geophysics and
Geodesy. As part of this project a network of 26 CG
PS (continuous GPS) stations, covering the
Spanish part of the Iberian Peninsula (22 stations)
and Morocco (4 stations) was established in 2008 t
o
complement other GPS networks already deployed by d
ifferent Institutions, EPN (EUREF Permanent
Network), IGS (InternationalGNSS Service) and regio
nal governmental agencies to monitor crustal deformation due to Nubia and Eurasian tectonic plat
es. Data analysis is performed at three different
analysis centres: Real Instituto y Observatorio de
la Armada (ROA), University of Barcelona (UB) and
University of Jaen (UJA). The coordinate time serie
s and the velocity field from 2008-2013 computed
at UJA analysis centre are presented in this paper.
The estimated velocities show the southeast of the
Iberian Peninsula is a boundary area between two pl
ates accommodating the relative movements
between the Eurasian and Nubia plates.
