The WEST SUDETEN geodynamic network consists of 11 sites on that five annual GPS epoch measurements in period of 2001-2005 were carried out. The 48-hour epoch data linked to 4 permanent EPN station observations created reasonable GPS data base for a preliminary evaluation of site movement velocities. General movement pattern over the network has been obtained and some regional and local movement relations among network sites were observed and discussed. The whole region under study displays three areas with relatively different movement trends. The northern area, i.e. the Krkonoše Mts. structural block, displays pronounce motion to the NW with respect to the central area that involves the Permian piedmont of the Krkonoše Mts. covered in its southern part by the Cretaceous sediments. Besides, conspicuous dextral movement along the Železné hory Mts. fault zone was detected too., Vladimír Schenk, Zdeňka Schenková, Milada Grácová and Pavel Kottnauer., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The fault displacement monitoring network EU-TecNet was established to define microdisplacements across faults in the territory of Central Europe (www.tecnet.cz) using three-dimensional optical-mechanical extensometers. The results of long-term neotectonic activity obtained from two caves localized in the eastern part of the Slovenský kras Mts. (SE Slovakia) show generally NE-SW oriented dilatation. This orientation is in a good accordance with the orogen-parallel extension monitored in the Western Carpathians. Differing short-lasting trends were distinguished in 2011-2012 and 2013-2015, which supports the significance of the tectonic pulse at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Moreover, simultaneous short-lasting faulting occurred at both sites under the transtensional tectonic regime, where the principal maximum compressional axis operated in a NW-SE direction (σ1). The observed results were compared to data from monitoring points in distant areas of the European plate. and Briestenský Miloš, Hochmuth Zdenko, Littva Juraj, Hók Jozef, Dobrovič Roman, Stemberk Josef, Petro Ľubomír, Bella Pavel.
Underground mining hard coal in the area of Walbrzych ended in the late 90-ties of the last Century. Its effects on the state of heterogeneous rock mass (complicated geology and tectonics) is still evident and not known precisely. Analysis of levelling measurement results carried out after the end of mining activity (1997-2008) for part of the former “Thorez” mine indicates increased rock mass surface activity in tectonic zones. With the aim to continue monitoring of the rock mass surface movements on the area of former mining grounds a research satellite GPS network (7 points) has been established and supplemented with new precise levelling lines linked to the existing 2nd class levelling network. Location of these points takes into consideration, among other things geology and tectonics of the Walbrzych Basin and areas of underground mining activity. In this paper work on the design and construction of the research satellite GPS and levelling networks has been described and the first measurement campaign carried out in September 2009 has been presented. Its results will form foundation for complex studies of rock mass surface in the next measurement epochs., Jan Blachowski, Wojciech Milczarek and Stefan Cacoń., and Obsahuje bibliografii
