Task 4: Preparing and operating datacenter for all continuous GPS stations in Iceland.

This is a very extensive workpart, that will be carried out especially in cooperation with WP 3. Continuous GPS measurements (CGPS) to observe ongoing deformation are in the initial phase in Iceland. During the last years 5 CGPS stations have come into operation in or near the South Iceland seismic zone and one in Southeast Iceland. In addition four CGPS stations are planned in near future in the North Iceland seismic zone, cost by Icelanders. These stations together with stations added into the HOTSPOT infrastructure will be integrated by basic evaluation to provide continuous information of deformation. Near-real-time information on deformation is significant for risk mitigation efforts, and therefore the data processing from all CGPS stations in Iceland will be carried out in close cooperation with WP 1. The basic processing that will be carried out in this cooperation is a necessary part of making the CGPS data available for research. This task will be carried out during the entire project period.
