To investigate recent crustal movements between northern and southern parts of Moravo-Silesian region of the Bohemian Massif and to find their relation to movements of structure blocks of Moldanubicum, it was decided to establish a regional geodynamic network HIGHLANDS. Seven sites for monitoring GPS signals were built with respect of geological and geophysical materials in the southern area of the Českomoravská vysočina Highlands. So far two epoch 48-hours GPS measurements have been performed in 2005 and 2006 with Ashtech receivers and antennas. GPS monitored data were processed by the Bernese software v. 5.0. The rather preliminary site movements were assessed and discussed from the viewpoint of recent geodynamic motions., Zdeňka Schenková, Vladimír Schenk, František Mantlík and Milada Grácová., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
A reliability of site movement assessments determined from GPS data monitored during eight two-day epoch measurements on the regional geodynamic EAST SUDETEN network (the Bohemian Massif, Central Europe) is discussed in details. Statistical tests of site positions processed by the BERNESE GPS software, their linear approximations for site movement velocity assessments and an establishment of probabilistic thresholds for reliability of the GPS data for regional geodynamic studies are delivered. The thresholds define necessary observation periods for annual epoch measurements performed on the networks with aim to obtain reliable movement estimates for geodynamic studies., Vladimír Schenk, Zdeňka Schenková, Jaroslaw Bosy and Bernard Kontny., and Obsahuje bibliografii
In this article we solve the non-standard situation that arose after publishing our paper "Crustal deformations in the epicentral area of the West Bohemia 2008 earthquake swarm in central Europe" (Schenk et al., 2012). Horálek and Fischer wrote a statement regarding our publication, sent it to specialists interested in research in the West Bohemia swarm area, and questioned the reliability of the seismic data used in our work. Since the statement regarding the reliability of our work was not directly sent to us we are using this journal to return to professional discussion regarding our results. In this paper we review scientific arguments made in their statement and provide review of various studies on West Bohemia tectonics and related seismicity., Vladimír Schenk and Zdeňka Schenková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
