NaGNet GPS Monitoring
Long-term monitoring to detect local movements in the earth's crust
The satellite-based precision measurement network "NaGNet" stands for "Nagra's permanent GNSS Network" and is used to monitor the smallest movements in the geological subsurface. Over the next few decades, the measurement stations will record highly accurate position data from the "Global Navigation Satellite System" (GNSS).
The data collected is used to infer the smallest movements in the geological subsurface. In terms of the long-term safety of future geological repositories for the long-term storage of radioactive waste, the models for the movement of the earth's crust are thus being verified.
The stations supplement the existing GNSS measurement network AGNES – "Automatic GNSS Network of Switzerland", which is operated by the Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo).
