And this precision data can then in turn be used to map localized terrain movements due to volcanic activity, mining etc. using high precision GPS. I think some of these can detect (in the long term) movements of as little as a few millimeters!

It's quite fun area, I used to work in related technologies. Some of the countries maintain their own networks, but there are also commercial networks - so called reference stations that provide RTK/Network-RTK, basically your GPS can be augmented with a model based on those reference stations (which are ground GPS/GNSS receivers with very well known position) and improve accuracy to even 1cm (based on differences from your GPS position vs positions in network compared to well known positions).
