The purpose of the study is the analysis and interpretation of recent local vertical movements of the Dnister Pumped-Storage Power Plant (PSPP) (Ukraine). The study was conducted on the basis of precise levelling carried out on the site during 1999–2019. The average linear velocities of vertical movements are calculated and the field of their spatial distribution is constructed. Based on spatial distribution of the velocity field of vertical movements, the lifting zones of the territory, which are located on the border of several tectonic blocks, are identified. Zoning of the territory of the object on the basis of grouping of geodetic sites with similar kinematic characteristics is offered.

Nowadays work is underway to integrate the leveling network of Ukraine into the UELN (United European Leveling Network) to ensure the determination of the heights of geodetic points and terrain objects in the UELN/EVRS2000 height system. To fully coordination the height system of Ukraine with modern European GIS standards, it is necessary to have a high-precision reference surface of the height reference system (geoid surface), corresponding with the European geoid EGG07. The purpose of this work is to analyze the existing models of (quasi)geoid on the Ukraine area. It is investigated that the most accurate model is UQG2012. Despite this, the deviation of this model even at some points of State Geodetic Network (SGN) of I class can reach 8 cm, and at other points up to 23 cm. The model of the European geoid EGG07 is difficult to use from a practical point of view in Ukraine area because it is tied to the Amsterdam benchmark, and the average deviation, relative to the benchmarks in the Baltic Height System, reaches 25 cm. In order to fully coordination the height system of Ukraine with the modern European GIS standard according to the INSPIRE directive, it is necessary to build a high-precision model of the geoid surface, consistent with the European geoid EGG07, after the integration of Ukraine's leveling network into the European leveling network UELN.

This paper is written about Field Move Clino and FieldMove programs and their capabilities. We describe the features of processing in field works. Advantages and disadvantages of using gadgets during geological field camp are indicated. These thesis demonstrate that Move software is the right solution for field geological work.

This paper represents the results of GPR investigations of five ice caps on the islands Galindez, Winter and Skua. The research is aimed at counting the layers and finding similarities in the structure of the ice caps. Observations were done during different seasons with VIY3 GPR, 300 MHz antenna. 5–10 major layers are stretching along the ice caps.

Calabria is crossed by a system of active faults which represents a high seismic risk for the whole territory. In order to provide a contribution to territorial monitoring and control also for the purpose of forecasting catastrophic events and territorial prevention, the Geomatics Lab of the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria is working on updating the database of faults capable of the Calabria Region through the creation of territorial topographic networks for the monitoring and control of potentially active faults, to be managed through a GIS. In this regard (thanks to the large amount of displacement data acquired over time by the GPS networks implemented), we are also working on the experimentation of a neural network for the prediction of the probability of occurrence of an earthquake of a given magnitude following others occurring in the surrounding area, relating the data provided by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, with those obtained from the experimental GPS surveying networks, used to monitor active faults (to date the Castrovillari fault, the fault in the area between Fuscaldo - Falerna, and the Reggio Calabria fault).

This work proposes an experimental methodology for the characterization of the susceptibility to landslides in the Reggio Calabria area through the combination of remote sensing, GIS systems and soft computing. In particular, we created, a map of the susceptibility to landslides in GIS environment using a neural network and a fuzzy methodology to produce an infrastructure attention level divided into five categories (levels) of risk. Subsequently, starting from this map, we identified the areas of the road’s network most exposed to landslide risk also using remote sensing techniques (classification and segmentation techniques) overlapped on the open street map. This system provides us the level of attention that affects the transport infrastructure investigated (a higher level of attention corresponds to a higher level of landslide risk).

The paper presents monitoring studies of accumulated sewage sludge in open areas of Lviv wastewater treatment plants. A map of the silt area was made, the area and volume of accumulated sediments were determined. A study was carried out to determine the gross and mobile forms of heavy metals in sludge, namely lead (Pb), on the basis of the obtained results, maps were constructed.

The aim of the article is to investigate the place, role, nature, purpose of geophysical monitoring in a multi-purpose and multilevel system of monitoring the condition of basic geospatial data based on the analysis of legislation of Ukraine and normative, scientific and reference literature. The information basis of the article consisted of the effective laws and regulations, results of scientific research and analytical materials, which present the problems of environmental monitoring in the context of geospatial data infrastructure development, in substantiating the aim and conclusion we used the abstract and logical methods. Geophysical monitoring is an important element of monitoring the state of geodetic networks. One of the main processes in field work for monitoring the condition of geodetic points and benchmarks for the survey of geodetic points and level benchmarks is their search in the field. The proposed search methods are based on geodetic technologies and provide only localization in the area of the probable location of the center, the benchmark, and to detect them in the soil it is necessary to perform excavations, which do not always give the desired result. The authors have performed the theoretical analysis of the possibility to use the investigations of background and anomalous geophysical fields as a basis for geophysical monitoring to observe the condition of basic geospatial data and it has demonstrated the diversity of application depending on the degree of detail as well as the insufficient efficiency of geophysical information.

Gender inequality in access to certain professions is an obstacle to achieving genuine equality between men and women. Even now, in developed countries, women occupy only about 25% of technical positions, and the profession of land surveyor in many countries at the level of social stereotype is often considered to be “male”. Despite the fact that from 1995 to 2018, the gender inequality index in Ukraine decreased from 0.480 to 0.284, the problem of equal access to engineering professions, such as the profession of geodesist or land surveyor, still requires special attention. Taking into account that in Ukraine the activities of land engineers, geodesists and land appraisers are separately regulated and certified, the gender balance was studied among professionals working in these areas at the national level and in the context of individual regions based on data from the relevant state registers

The paper puts forward the calculation of the change in time of the minimum downhole pressure of flowing due to the joint interaction of the well and the oil pool under the dissolved gas regime, as well as the method of calculating the conditions of joint operation of the oil pool and the folowing well. The method is based on solving the equations of fluid filtration in the oil pool and the movement of gas-oil flow in the wellbore.
