Since its first application to geodynamical problems, GPS geodesy has gradually revealed the nature of motion and deformation for most active areas of deformation across the Earth. One of the last remaining regional-scale problems on the planet is the motion and associated deformation in the peri-Adriatic region. Selected local-scale studies have examined aspects of this motion, but to date no truly regional analysis or regional team has systematically attacked the full breadth of this problem. A NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) was held in Veszprem, Hungary from April 4-7, 2004. This workshop brought together a distinguished international group of scientists working in the peri-Adriatic region to: review research activities and results; share technical expertise; and provide a springboard for future collaborative research on Adria geodynamics. Areas of agreement were identified, as well as remaining areas of debate.; In addition, attention is focused on important scientific questions and the potential for international and interdisciplinary research in the future Analysis Adria microplate GPS Geodesy Tectonics Hazards geochemie geochemistry geologie geology aardwetenschappen earth sciences geofysica geophysics geodesie geodesy Geology (General) Geologie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Plate tectonics -- Adriatic Sea -- Congresses Geology, Structural -- Adriatic Sea -- Congresses SCIENCE -- Earth Sciences -- Geography.
