Integrated geodynamical network in Russia. (Scientific objectives and realization)

Space Geodesy Application for the Natural Hazards Monitoring of the Russian Far Eastern Territory

“…And an establishment of the fundamental geodetic network, integrated with ITRF, is carried out in Russia [5,6]. This network provides a representative covering of the largest stable areas (the Siberian and the East European) of the Eurasian plate and will be used as a reference frame for geodynamic studies of the active plate boundary between the PA (Pacific), NA (North American) and EU (Eurasian) plates.…”

GLONASS as a key element of the Russian Positioning Service

“…(Demianov and Tatevian, 2000;Demianov et al, 2005). A combination of GPS and GLONASS will strengthen the benefits both for scientific research and for practical users, especially in the urban, mountain and near polar areas.…”

On the Role of Glonass for the Development of the Russian Geodetic Reference Network

“…With the purpose of improving the national geodetic reference frame an establishment of the new Fundamental Astro-Geodetic network (FAGN), based mainly on the combined use of GPS and GLONASS measurements, is now carried out in Russia, under the management of the Federal Department of Geodesy and Cartography in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences. (Demianov and Tatevian, 2000;Demianov et al2005). A combination of GPS and GLONASS will strengthen the benefits both for scientific research and for practical users, especially in the urban, mountain and near polar areas.…”
