Cosmic Geodesy Contribution to Geodynamics Monitoring

Abstract

Abstract The cosmic geodesy provides methods and ways of various data acquisition. The collected data may be used for research, calculations and analysis in different fields of interest. According to the reliability and redundancy of data provided by cosmic geodesy methods, it is possible to contribute to the geodynamics monitoring. The geodynamics monitoring enables the tectonic plates movement tracking and predicts the movements which may result in disasters. Applying data provided by cosmic geodesy methods in the form of permanent observation station positions and their changes in time, in calculations, whose physical nature is based on the continuum mechanics, makes possible to monitor the direction, locality and size of visualised deformation tensors.
