The Swedish National Programme for the Geodynamics Project

A national committee for the Swedish participation in the Geodynamics Project has been established. The Swedish contribution to the programme includes two major undertakings. A. A geotraverse in the Caledonides (Östersund-Storlien area), with the aim of studying past crustal movements during the Caledonian cycle. B. Studies of Post-glacial earth movements in the Baltic Shield. These studies include investigations of the istostatic uplift and other present movements in the earth's crust, for example, earth tides and seismic activity. Both undertakings emphasise an inter-disciplinary approach, with contributions from scientists in the field of geology, geophysics and geodesy.
