Brief Description (Abstract):

Keeping in view of the innumerable scientific objectives such as studies on crustal uplift after deglaciation, local earthquakes, accurate determination of hypocentres of earthquakes which occur throughout the world, crustal movements and to interpret the structure and composition of the earth's interior, NGRI has launched a study adopting space geodetic technique using GPS during the XVI Indian expedition to Antarctica. Initial short term GPS measurements were carried out at Maitri, Indian station at Antarctica with an objective of filling up the GPS data gap in Antarctica region between LAT 60? to 80?S and LON 0? - 30?E and 80? in the context of global GPS network as well as to study the ongoing Indian plate motion south of Indian Peninsula, initial results are obtained. The estimation of the Site coordinates of MAITRI in ITRF 94 reference frame and the baseline ventors between MAITRI and IGS GLOBAL TRACKING STATIONS around ANTARCTICA by GLOBAL NETWORK SOLUTION are reported here.

Status: Completed

Purpose: 1. determination of intercontinental and intraplate baseline vectors and monitor the deformation process along the vectors. 2. Fixing a reference point in an inertial frame of reference and providing scope for establishing fiducial sites to constrain GPS measurements.
