Through the five-year (1992-1997) earth science programs "Synthetic observations and monitoring of dynamic behavior of the Earth's crust", we are planning to make parallel geodetic observations at Syowa Station to study global geodynamics. This report summarizes the present status of VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) measurements, the GPS (Global Positioning System) international campaign, DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite) beacon installation, PRARE (Precise Range And Range-rate Equipment) tracking, absolute gravity measurements, superconducting gravimeter observations, geomagnetic variometer observation and ocean tide observations.
