Geodynamic Studies in the Pieniny Klippen Belt in 2004–2020

ABSTRACT The Pieniny Geodynamic Test Field is situated in the middle of region between Inner and Outer Carpathians. research conducted past Klippen Belt (PKB) were suggestive neotectonic activity. goal investigation was to determine whether nearby structures, Podhale Flysh (FP) Magura Nappe (MN), are affected by activity PKB. study ascertain velocity direction motion stations close Field’s 3 main structures. Twelve GNSS stations, including 6 PKB, MN, FP, make up Field. Three sites Tatra Mountains (TM) complete entire geodynamic test field. satellite observations made 2004 2020 (excluding year 2005 due lack observation) investigated identify horizontal movements. Using IGb14 reference system, station’s positions velocities calculated. First, daily sessions used process coordinates points for an average observation epoch a given year. Sixteen measurement epochs included long-time solution. Based on residues north–south east–west directions, movement collected results compared information from EUREF Permanent Network (EUREF) findings prior tectonic displacements calculated using measurements area PKB structures—the MN FP presented analyzed this article.
