To investigate the geodynamic pattern of the Bohemian Massif in Central Europe, the GEONAS network of permanent GNSS stations was established. It now consists of 18 stations, recorded both the NAVSTAR and GLONASS positional signals; they are located along the tectonic zones of the Massif in order to monitor any movement activities. Yet other stations are still planned to be built, and some recent stations are to be moved within these active areas to increase their local distribution density. The GNSS data are processed by the use of Bernese GPS software 5.0. The time series of station positions give fundamental information for both regional and local geodynamic studies. The GEONAS network covers an area of 400 by 220 km, and it allows the effects of dynamic processes going on inside the Earth’s crust, as well as the upper lithosphere to be monitored. A few examples of geodynamic interpretations are presented here., Vladimír Schenk, Zdeňka Schenková, Milada Cajthamlová and Zdeněk Fučík., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The aim of presented research was to rec ognize a fine geological structure of post-glacial sedimentary forms. The survey was conducted in the South Pomeranian Lake District (north - western Poland) in the vicinity of Pile Lake and Strzeszyn Lake. The geoelectrical equipment Terrameter SAS 4000 (ABEM) with LUND Imaging System was used for the measurements of apparent resistivity of rock mass. The resistivity imaging was carried out im plementing Schlumberger S-protocol with 41 electrodes. Research was done along profiles crossing a border between two sedimentary forms. It allowed to recognize and compare the layered structures of the different post - glacial deposits down to 70 meters be low the surface. The data were interpreted on the base of two-dimensional inversion methods. Results were corre lated and compared with geological dat a accessible in the literature concerning of the research area. Geophysical prospecting gave good results and allowed to recognize a fine geological structure of the deposits., Adam F. Idziak and Anna Wysowska-Świebodzińska., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Since 2002, the US-German GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) mission has been providing a precise survey of the Earth's time-variable gravity field, with unprecedented temporal and spatial sampling. GRACE time-variable gravity fields provide a means of measuring the temporal and spatial variations of mass redistribution within the Earth system. The GRACE mission has started a new era in studying a series of geophysical problems ranging from deep Earth structure to tracking mass redistribution on and near the surface of the Earth. Time variability of the gravity field presented here is based on the transformation of “monthly gravity field models” to the geoid. We show the changes caused by the global water cycle and land hydrology., Jan Kostelecký, Aleš Bezděk and Jaroslav Klokočník., and Obsahuje bibliografii
a1_The aim of this paper is to present the strategy of determination of the reference solution for the ASG-EUPOS (Active Geodetic Network - European Position Determination System) coordinate monitoring system. ASG-EUPOS is a network of permanent GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) stations controlled by the Polish Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography (HOGC), which main role is to realize the ETRS89 (European Terrestrial Reference System) in the territory of Poland. The Centre of Applied Geomatics (CAG) of the Military University of Technology (MUT) performs a control processing of the network and it is the leader of the ASG+ (the supporting modules for ASG-EUPOS system real-time services) project within which the coordinate monitoring system was developed. The coordinate monitoring is aimed to assess the actual performance of the GNSS stations and the reliability of the system and its services. The Polish realization of the ETRS89 is also controlled, where the deviation of the actual coordinates from the reference values are monitored. Furthermore, the monitoring enables the analysis of factors that degrade the individual GNSS stations and assess the solution stability which has impact on the quality of the determined geodynamic parameters. The reference solutions (coordinates and their changes over time) were determined according to the recommendations of the IAG sub-commission for the European Reference Frame concerning densification of EUREF. The paper presents the determination of the reference cumulative solution and the results of the processing of a few years long series of GNSS observations. The analysis are performed by the Bernese 5.0 and CATREF software. The results consists of daily and subdaily ASG-EUPOS reference solutions. They are also considered as input data for geodynamic studies to determine the horizontal and vertical velocity fields., a2_Estimation of the individual station velocities is of crucial importance for the ETRF (European Terrestrial Reference Frame) reference frame maintenance to assess the compatibility of the current station position with its catalogue (reference) value and apply coordinate correction if necessary., Karolina Szafranek, Janusz Bogusz and Mariusz Figurski., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The Geodynamic Network Sudety was joined to the Czech Gravity Reference Network (CGRN) by two weeks of the relative gravity measurements. The gravity stations of the CGRN were used as the anchor stations. There were used two relative gravimeters LaCoste & Romberg G. The method of measurement, used instruments, mathematical processing, variants of result computations and their accuracy are discussed., Petr Lukavec and Martin Lederer., and Obsahuje bibliografii
During 2007 and 2008 there were realized gravity measurements using the relative gravimeter Scintrex CG-5 on sites of geodynamic networks HIGHLANDS and fundamental gravity sites of the Czech Gravity Reference Network. The gravity measurements were concentrated on monitoring the long-term trends of gravity acceleration changes among individual measurement sites. The methodology of measurement was optimized and preliminary time changes in gravity differences among sites were determined., Roman Kujal, Vladimír Schenk and Zdeňka Schenková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The western part of the Bohemian Massif (Vogtland/West-Bohemia region at the Czech-German border) is characterized by relatively frequent intraplate earthquake swarms and by other manifestations of current geodynamic activity, such as mofettes, mineral and thermal springs. In this study we analyze variations of groundwater level in four hydrological wells in the region during the years 2005-2010. Monitoring during the previous time interval of 2000-2004 is also mentioned and used for comparison. Two of the wells are located in the epicentral region of Nový Kostel, and the other wells are more distant. The time interval includes the 2008 earthquake swarm when all the wells displayed a noticeable drop in the water level. This effect was observed up to epicentral distances of nearly 30 km, which exceeds the distances of hydrological changes observed during previous earthquake swarms. Moreover, it seems that a small rise in the water level preceded the intervals of increased seismic activity, which could represent a certain precursory phenomenon. On the other hand, the hydrological changes in the Nový Kostel area were relatively small, indicating that this epicentral area is not hydrologically linked with the seismically active fault at depth. Consequently, more suitable localities for hydrological monitoring should be sought in a broader vicinity of Nový Kostel., Renata Gaždová, Oldřich Novotný, Jiří Málek, Jan Valenta, Milan Brož and Petr Kolínský., and Obsahuje bibliografii
