Integrated Monitoring System For Seismic Risk Assessment In Vrancea Area

Abstract

Information Technology (GIS, Remote Sensing, satellite communication,etc.) can help a in planning and implementation of hazards reductionmeasures.This paper addresses some key aspects regarding integrated use of radar,optical, GPS data over Vrancea seismic area in Romania in order toassess active tectonic of this region. Classifications of differentgeologic features and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) generation from SARERS1/2, Landsat TM, ETM and ASTER data are highly correlated within-situ ground data. GPS Romanian network stations data revealed acrustal displacement of about 5 or 6 mm/year in horizontal directionrelative motion, and a few millimeter/year in vertical direction.
