In addressing the effects of plate tectonic motion due to natural disasters such as earthquakes on the coordinates reference system and vertical datum systems for the whole country, JUPEM has successfully established a more accurate, precise and contemporary GDM2020. This newly derived geodetic datum system is fully aligned to ITRF2014, where velocities and PSD are modelled as an intrinsic component of the kinematic/ semi-kinematic concept of the CORS coordinates. In order to facilitate the conversion
