Abstract

Detailed information on the present-day intraplate deformation of the Upper Rhine Graben (URG) is of interest for researchers and decision makers. Within this work, surface displacements in the URG area are detected with three geodetic measurement techniques: levelling, GNSS and InSAR. The resulting map of 3D surface displacement rates from fusion of the three techniques resolves the neotectonic and anthropogenic movements of the URG area with unprecedented spatial resolution and accuracy.
