Abstract

A powerful rationale for monitoring the deformations of the earth’s crast and of man-made structures is to understand the underlying physics of phenomena that have historically caused major loss of life and destruction of property, most notably earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and collapse of structures such as dams. We are entering the International Decade of Natural Hazard Reduction. Space geodetic techniques, in particular the Global Positioning System (GPS), will contribute valuable data to the alleviation of natural hazards.
