GNSS and Environmental Protection • Code and Carrier Phase Measurements • Botany • Geomorphology • Geology • Applied Geophysics • Environmental Hydrology • Single Frequency Receiver (TRIMBLE)
GNSS and Environmental Protection • Single Frequency Receivers (TRIMBLE) • Code measurements • mapping for botany and geomorphology • Carrier phase measurements • special geomorphologic applications • for applied geophysics • env. hydrology and botany (study of snow patch) • Dual Frequency Receivers (Leica) • mass movements monitoring (ploughing blocks) • crustal blocks movements (permanent station on • Snezka Mt.)
