Việt Nam’s nationwide GPS stations debut
Việt Nam’s nationwide network of stations that constantly log and process satellite-based GPS data for better mapping and surveys, was officially launched Friday in Hà Nội. The network is expected to vastly modernise the country’s mapping and surveying technologies and deliver accurate and timely information.
The VNGEONET network is also useful in calculating and determining the speed of plate tectonic surface displacement as well as the speed of land elevation or subsidence with accuracy of changes down to the millimetres, which will help bring about timely warnings and solutions.
