Abstract

For more than 25 years, the monitoring of geodynamic processes with modern GNSS technology in the region of Sofia and Southwestern Bulgaria continues. To investigate modern crustal motions in the area, Global Positioning System (GPS) data obtained between 1996 and 2022 are analyzed to obtain the velocity field for southwestern Bulgaria. For this period, monitoring covered 28 stations. The active strain in the region is also estimated from analysis of the results for velocity solutions. Some correlation between modern earth crust movements, seismic events and tectonic structures is established. The obtained results in a general way confirm previously data, but with much better accuracy and details at local level. The results can be used for a detailed geodynamic and geological study of the active fault structures in the area.
