The long-term objective of this project is to improve understanding of the kinematics and dynamics of continental collision and associated mountain-building processes along the Alpine-Himalayan collision zone. The primary scientific goals of this project include: (i) comparison of baseline measurements made independently by Soviet and American observation systems, (ii) measurement of internal deformation of the major crustal blocks of the region, (iii) monitoring strain accumulation and release along the major fault systems of Central Asia, (iv) evaluation of preseismic(?), coseismic, and post-seismic deformation associated with major crustal earthquakes, and (v) determination of present- day relative movements between the Indian and Eurasian plates.

该项目的长期目标是增进对大陆碰撞的运动学和动力学以及沿阿尔卑斯-喜马拉雅碰撞带的相关造山过程的了解。该项目的主要科学目标包括：(1)比较苏联和美国观测系统独立进行的基线测量，(2)测量该区域主要地壳块体的内部形变，(3)监测中亚主要断裂系统的应变积累和释放，(4)评估震前(？)、同震、以及(5)确定印度板块和欧亚板块之间的现今相对运动。
