GPS monitoring network

Application of GPS technique for monitoring of copper basin area in Poland

The territory of the copper ore basin with an area of ​​about 800 square kilometers is located in the South-Western part of Poland. Intensive extraction of minerals leads to significant deformations on the surface of the basin. In 1993, the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry established a GPS network for monitoring deformations. The lengths of the sides of the network range from several hundred meters to 42 km. During observations of the GPS campaign in October 1993, 6 GPS receivers Ashtech MD-XII were used. Observations were processed by GPPS version 5.0.
