One of the leaved out fault active systems at Southern Moravian can be considered the so called Diendorf - Čebín tectonic zone (DCTZ), that is seismically active in its southern segment (in Austrian). The Waitzendorf fault is a part of the DCTZ, with intensive morphological signs. The terrain recognizance along the eastern margin of the Dyje Dome confirmed many indi cations showing evidence of geodynamic activity. The facets, old land slides and rock falls indicate recent activity in the environs of Znojmo area. The paper offers interpretation of the geodetic results (GPS) using morphological and geophysical data from all area of the DCTZ ., Lubomil Pospíšil, Pavel Roštínský, Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Michal Witiska., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
In the contribution the results of repeated precise levelling and GPS measurements at the central part of the Diendorf-Čebín tectonic zone (DCTZ) are presented. This morphologically very expressive tectonic system that belongs to a typical type of transcurrent tectonic system, with activity from Protherozoic up to recent period in separate parts is considered to be a seismoactive fault, too. Preliminary results at two measured profiles across central part of eastern marginal fault of the Boskovice Furrow confirmed expected vertical movement tendencies. It is evident that all tectonic system is seismoactive not only in the Lower Austria district but also in its northern continuation., Lubomil Pospíšil, Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Michal Witiska., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Latest studies of recent geodynamic movements going on major geological structures of the Sněžník metamorphic unit are closely related to geodetic satellite measurements, especially to permanent and ep och GNSS satellite methods. For this reason the Institute of Geodesy, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology (IG FCE-BUT) continues measurements in Local Geodynamic Sněžník Network (LGSN) which was established in 1992 in Czech-Polish cooperation for the purpose of lithosphere movement monitoring. A special attention was devoted to detection of possible displacements of the local blocks of Králický Sněžník Massif. The results confirm the significant horizontal and vertical movements within relatively small territory. All these and other detected contemporary geodynamic phenomena are presented and discussed., Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Lubomil Pospíšil., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
In the contribution geological structure and geophysical data along the northern part of the Diendorf-Čebín tectonic zone (DCTZ) is analyzed in relation to the position of the measured GPS test areas and precise levelling profiles. For this purposes the former geophysical data have been reambulated and analyzed, too. Revision of geological knowledge and sources has been done in places of the proposed polygons. The results of reinterpretation of the Grav/Mag data and selected seismic reflection profiles suggest new possibilities and variety of structural interpretations of this tectonic zone. It is evident that the whole tectonic system has undergone complicated tectonic development during the Paleogene and Neogene. Therefore the recent mapping and analyses by GPS and precise levelling have to be realized in places where the geological structural ambiguity has to be eliminated., Lubomil Pospíšil, Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Michal Witiska., and Obsahuje bibliografii
In the article the results of repeated satellite positional measurements of station VYHL of the Sněžník Network over period 1994-2006 are presented. Altogether 17 Brno University of Technology measuring campaigns were carried out and evaluated. The observation data (acquired mostly with Leica GPS receivers) were processed with the scientific Bernese GPS Software and the commercial Leica SKI-Pro software packets. Unified procedure for campaign data processing including the alignement of the resulting positions to respective EUREF Permanent Network weekly solutions had been adopted. Only the stability in horizontal direction was analysed. Positional stability of the VYHL station was considered in respect to the surrounding IGS, EPN, and local stations which were used for a local reference frame definitions, at three different levels. First level information was obtained from relations to surrounding stations of the Sněžník Network in distances up to 10 km, second level represent the relations to nearest EPN stations in distances about 100 km, and finally third level represent the relations to surrounding IGS Network stations in distances about 300 - 400 km. Another approach to VYHL stability assessment was the an alysis of slope distances time series from VYHL to neighbouring GPS stations. Outlined are also possibilities of exploitation of the recently completed CZEPOS Network., Otakar Švábenský and Josef Weigel., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
The Moravia territory has been the subject of geokinematic investigation within scope of several realized research projects and repeated GPS campaigns since 1992. The monitoring has been concentrated on all the Moravia region as well as on particular areas of interest concerning the eventual possible geodynamic changes (Králický Sněžník Massif, Diendorf-Čebín Tectonic Zone (DCTZ) and others). At present time all the territory is covered by several tenths of permanent and epoch GNSS stations. Long observation time series at permanent stations alone are not sufficient for delivering the regional velocity field of sufficient density. On the other hand, epoch stations are more densely spread but periods of repeated observations are less frequent and often the data processing is not homogeneous. In the paper the preliminary kinematic model is briefly described which gives for the first time the general view of movement tendencies at the region of Moravia. On base of long-term monitoring it shows that the Southern Moravia region is more active then it was supposed., Lubomil Pospíšil, Otakar Švábenský and Josef Weigel., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Determination of heights with help of GPS in local geodetic networks is still more actual respecting the fact that the GPS technology becames more and more effective with hardware progress, with improvements in measuring and evaluating procedures, and with better modelling of the disturbing influences. In comparison with GPS the employment of classical terrestrial measuring technologies is often more difficult namely in broken mountain environment. In period 1998-2005 authors carried out repeated measurements of GPS baselines of various length and various height differences in local geodynamical network Sněžník and in other experimental areas. On ground of analyses of large GPS data sets the modified procedure for GPS observation was designed. The procedure is based on repetition of shorter static sessions separated by time intervals of optimal length. This technology represents an alternative to the ususal long static sessions, and is offering better effectivity of vertical GPS measurements with minimal loss of accuracy. The paper presents detailed description of the modified procedure together with some statistical analyses of results. The possibilities of elimination or mitigation of some disturbing influences are discussed. Two testing vertical profiles were marked in Sněžník network- longitudinal profile in N-S direction, and transversal profile in E-W direction - which were measured in course of several years by classical method of very precise levelling, and also by modified GPS heighting procedure in repeated sessions. Results obtained contributed to the local quasigeoid model creation., Otakar Švábenský, Josef Weigel and Radovan Machotka., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Among the first GPS geodynamics projects in Czech Republic the MORAVA network was founded in 1994 with aim to determine the positional changes at border zone between the Bohemian Massif and the Carpathians. Initial project included three successive GPS campaigns in period 1994 - 1996, but was not continued because of lack of support. It had been possible to carry out new measurements in southern part of the MORAVA network including five stations, after gap of 15 years. In the paper comparison of previous and contemporary results of epoch GPS measurements are presented, which indicate block movement tendencies at the Bohemian Massif and the Western Carpathians border, thus confirming activity of the area up to present days., Otakar Švábenský, Michal Witiska, Jan Ratiborský, Radim Blažek, Lubomil Pospíšil and Josef Weigel., and Obsahuje bibliografii
The paper presents results of epoch satellite GPS and gravimetric measurements performed on the geodynamic network in central part of the Stołowe Mts. between 1993 and 2009. The research results show significant changes of gravity on most of the points and significant horizontal movement of one point in the central part of the area. The results confirm present day activity of the zone where faults Polický, Bělský and Czerwona Woda Fault Zone exists. In addition, they correspond with the studies of seismic activity in this part of the Sudety Mts., Stefan Cacoń, Jan Kapłon, Bernard Kontny, Josef Weigel, Otakar Švábenský and Jiři Kopecký., and Obsahuje bibliografii
