AUDEMARD, Franck Albert et al. Installation of continuously monitoring geodetic stations for geoscience research at the south Caribbean margin. Bol. geol. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.2, pp.15-30.  Epub 28-Mayo-2020. ISSN 0120-0283.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revbol.v42n2-2020001.

Since 2015 six new continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) and meteorological stations have been installed in Venezuela as part of the Continuously Operating Caribbean GPS Observational Network (COCONet) project (El Baúl-CN41, Quebrada Arriba-CN39, Isla de Aves-CN49, Los Roques-CN42, Isla de Margarita-CN44, and Isla La Blanquilla-CN43). Almost simultaneously, in the framework of the VENCREEP project (ANR-France), a survey composed of two geodetic stations (Saucedo-SAU0 and La Pica Arriba de Catuaro-PAC0) and one creepmeter was installed to study the Pilar Fault. Also, new seven cGPS stations of fifteen planned were acquired through the Tsunami project (FONACIT 2013000361), aiming at densifying the current network. The whole set of stations will improve our knowledge about the local and regional geodynamics. We are sure that the results will have implications for seismic hazard studies.
