NHMW staff involved:The Speleotect Network is a system of high-resolution 3D extensometers TM71, which monitor the present-day activity of subsidiary faults adjacent to major fault systems in the Eastern Alps. The network is a part of the global monitoring network Tecnet and the data are available online. The Speleotect Netwok has been continuously operating since 2013 and it was jointly financed by the Austrian Science Funds (FWF) project P25884-N29 Active tectonics and recent dynamics of micro-displacements along major fault systems of the Eastern Alps registered in caves – SPELEOTECT and the Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics, the Czech Academy of Sciences.

General settings of the SPELEOTECT study area: (A) slope map of Austria and the Eastern Alps with depicted detailed Figure
1 B, (B) tectonic overview map of the eastern part of the Eastern Alps (modified after Schuster et al. 2014) with presented
the study sites, earthquake epicentres (after ZAMG), and major tectonic fault systems, i.e.: SEMP – Salzach-Ennstal-Mariazell-Puchberg
fault system, MM – Mur-Mürz fault system, VBT – Vienna Basin Transfer fault, LA – Pöls-Lavanttal fault system, PAL – Periadriatic
Line fault system.
