Abstract
Seafloor geodesy is important because most of seismogenic zones of subduction earthquakes are under the seafloor. Observation of seafloor crustal movements has been initiated and proceeded these ten years with methods different from geodetic observation on land, because electromagnetic waves are unavailable underwater. GPS/Acoustic seafloor positioning, a novel method for observation of a regional crustal movement, has yielded promising results. Ocean bottom pressure is the most realistic observable for the monitoring of vertical movement, and can be continuously observed in real time with a cabled system.
