Monitoring of present crustal movements in the Lovozero massif by high-precision methods
Abstract The Lovozero massif, situated in the vicinity of the Khibini massif and in the center of the Kola peninsula, had practically not been studied up to recently in respect of manifestations of present-day movements of the Earth's crust and geodynamics. However, in connection with the problem of mining, a number of new data have now been obtained in this field in the last years. Values and rates of the present-day block movements of the Earth's crust within the region of the Lovozero massif were originally determined by geomorphological investigations. Over the last years, the instrumental observations are being carried out both on the surface and in underground workings driven specially for this purpose.
