Mission Details (english)
Start your journey in Strasbourg and travel back to Karlsruhe. The target cache will then be announced there.
In April 2008 the Institut de Physique du Globe de Strasbourg (Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre) and the Geodetic Institute of the Karlsruhe University (TH) established an geo-scientific and transnational joint venture called GURN (GNSS Upper Rhine Graben Network). Within the GURN initiative these institutions are cooperating in order to carry out research in the framework of the transnational project TOPO-WECEP (West and Central European Platform), which succeeds the former project EUCOR-URGENT (Upper Rhine Graben Evolution and NeoTectonics). The proposed research is based on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) in order to detect recent crustal movements.
