Rates of Uplift
Repeated precision leveling measurements for determining ground elevations have shown that the Alpine region compared with the Swiss Plateau is still rising. These precision measurements use about 8,000 reference marks whose elevation data serve as a reference for most measuring tasks in Switzerland. A measuring point in Aarburg (AG), serves as an arbitrary reference point for the investigating vertical movements. The two maximum rises of up to 1.5 mm per year, in the region between Sion and Brig in the Valais as well as in the Graubünden in Chur and in the Engadin, are striking. These are probably a direct result of plate tectonics or isostatic compensatory movements.
