Use of GNSS Technology in Engineering Geology in Slovakia

摘要

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers are used in many applications, including geological mapping and surveying. Recently, the staff of the Department of Engineering Geology at the State Geological Institute of Dionyz Stur has adopted this technology and applied it in the solutions of various tasks of civil engineering practice: such as inventory and monitoring of landslides, construction of geological cross-sections, and contouring of specific geological features. This paper presents various case studies, in which the application of this kind of devices is being compared with classical methods of engineering geological practice.
