Description
The Cyprus Continuously Operating Natural Hazards Monitoring and Prevention System (RIF/INFRASTRUCTURES/1216/0050), abbreviated CyCLOPS, was co-financed by the European Union Regional Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research Promotion Foundation. The main objective of the project was the establishment of a novel Strategic Research Infrastructure Unit for monitoring Solid Earth processes and Geohazards in Cyprus and the broader EMENA region. CyCLOPS has deployed permanent co-located multi-sensor configurations (Tier-1/2 GPS/GNSS reference stations, SAR Corner Reflectors, weather stations, and tiltmeters) throughout Cyprus to promote geohazard monitoring, critical infrastructure resilience, and form the National Geodetic ans Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) backbone.
