The Earth crust surface movements in SW Poland from GPS and leveling data

Permanent and periodic satellite GPS observations in SW Poland are realized since 1996. The results of these observations are used for the earth crust surface movements determination. Values of the movement velocities are significant for horizontal as well as vertical components. The vertical movements determined by GPS were compared with the vertical movements obtained by repeated leveling measurements, performed in the 50'ties, 70'ties and 90'ties of the 20th Century. The calculated movements are discussed in relation to tectonics in the paper.
