Due to its dispersive nature, ionosphere causes a group delay or phase acceleration of the signals from Global navigation satellite systems - GNSS. Despite the progress of GNSS positioning methods, the ionospheric refraction is still one of the greatest source of the errors in the geodetic positioning and navigation. Different phenomenons oft he space weather: solar wind, geomagnetic storm, solar radiation, can damage GNSS, and electric power distribution networks but That is why it's important to establish research and monitoring methods of the space weather. The subject of this paper is the investigation of ionosphere and space weather. Procedure of constructing a SID (engl. Sudden ionospheric disturbances) monitor station are described. The analysis showed that ionosphere monitoring station in Sarajevo, SRJV_ION 0436, was able to detect increased solar radiation.

During the six millennia of the existence of the civilization on the Earth, surveying techniques have been experienced difficult foreseeable changes. The definition and role of geodesy have been changing accordingly. Geodesy has evolved from its original classic definition that "studying the movements of celestial bodies, the shape and dimensions of the Earth" in the "science which, beside it noted above, studies its changes and complex dynamic processes that ongoing inside the Earth, on the surface, above its surfaces, and evironment. The paper is overview of the geodetic techniques and the surveying instruments, cadastre and cartography in the ancien civilizations: Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, antic Greece, ancient Rome, to the Europeans, from the 17th century to modern times. A detailed description devoted to surveying and geodetic works in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from the time of Ottoman Empire, through the Austro-Hungarian survey, to the modern achievements Global Geodetic Observing System-GGOS, the main component of the International Association of Geodesy described at the end.

Research on the best appropriete heights system to be selected for the future state leveling networks on the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina is shown. Research has the general approach and could be applied for High Precision Leveling Networks for the other countries and especially those from the region.

Gravity is considered as the basic physical force in the nature. Modern satellite missions: CHAMP, GRACE and GOCE allowed modeling of the global gravity field with very high accuracy, as well as its spatial and temporal variations. This paper describes the main objectives, characteristics, the latest results of these missions, as well as the expectations of the future observations, and their importance and contributions for the surveying and geodetic practice, and scientific achievements as well, in geodesy, geophysics and hydrology.

Analysis of the accuracy of the orthometric heights of the old trigonometric points are posible since the global accurate models of geoid as well as 3D coordinates in the global coordinate system became available. Preliminary results of the heights accuracy analyze in the old trigonometric network in the in Bosnia and Herzegovina are shown in this paper. The analyze has done by comparing the orthometric heights calculated using by GPS height and the modern global geoid models EGM, with the old official heights of trigonometric points. The results indicate the existence of blunders among the heights in the old trigonometric network of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Movement of the Adria microplate is one of the main elements for understanding crustal deformations in the central Mediterranean and central Europe. To study present-day tectonics in Adria and the nature of its boundary relative to those of the Africa and Eurasia plates, three GPS (Global Positioning System) campaigns involving 41 stations were carried out within CRODYN (the Croatian and Slovene Geodynamic Network). Movement of stations derived in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 1996 (ITRF96) with respect to the permanent ITRF/IGS (International GPS Service) station GRAZ in Austria, located north of the network, and values of the principal strain rates determined on the basis of analytical surface deformation theory suggest that Adria is divided into three different deformation zones (northern, central, and southern). The domain of northeastern Italy moves 5 mm/yr in an east-northeast direction. The stations in southwestern Slovenia move 3-7 mm/yr in a north-northwest direction, whereas those in southern and northeastern Istria move 4-5 mm/yr in a more easterly direction. The greatest movement (8-10 mm/yr) occurs in central Adria between the Gargano zone and the central Dinarides ; there, the movement is northeastoriented. A fragmentation of Adria into subblocks linking the Gragano zone to the central Dinarides cannot be clearly demonstrated. The southeastern part of Adria, along the coastline of Albania, moves 5-7 mm/yr in an almost east-west direction, and eastern Albania moves 6 mm/yr in an east-southeast direction. The permanent ITRF/IGS stations POTS and WTZR in Germany, BOR1 in Poland, and PENC in Hungary demonstrate no significant movement. The movement of the stations discussed here differs very clearly from the known north-west motion of the Africa plate and suggests that Adria is an independent microplate.

<p>A devastating earthquake (Mw 6.2) occurred on December 29, 2020,&#160; near the town of Petrinja, in Croatia, a few kilometers north of the Bosnian border with Croatia. The earthquake affected Bosnia and Herzegovina as well, and many buildings in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina were severely damaged. The main earthquake impact was preceded by two strong for-shocks, which shows a great resemblance to the Banja Luka earthquake of 1969. Seismic activity at the end of December 2020 and January 2021 was manifested through the occurrence of a large number of seismic events, namely: one earthquake of magnitude 6.2, two earthquakes of magnitude between 5.0 and 6.0, twenty-two earthquakes of magnitude between 4.0 and 5.0, sixty-six earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and 4.0 and two hundred and seventy-seven earthquakes of magnitude between 2.0 and 3.0. This earthquake is a consequence of the movement of the Adriatic microplate and its interaction with the Eurasian tectonic plate. Its movement results in the creation of current seismicity in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia.</p><p>Today, analysis of the deformations of the Earth's crust plays an important role in research related to the entire seismic cycle. The phases of seismic cycles can be reliably estimated using time series of daily coordinates from continuously operating stations of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).</p><p>In this study, we used five time-series GNSS positions (Sarajevo, Pore&#269;, Ljubljana, Po&#382;ega, and Zadar), daily resolutions (24 hours) in the IGS14 reference frame, taken from Nevada Geodetic Laboratory through the website. We determined the coseismic displacement field of the Mw 6.2 Petrinja mainshock using downloaded the GNSS time-series as well as coseismic displacement field for all earthquakes of magnitude over 4. We processed data for the GNSS time series for the period from January 2016 to December 2020. GNSS stations are located at distances ~100 km to the ~250 km distances the epicenter of the Petrinja earthquake, of which the Pore&#269; station is the closest. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text format was used for processing all earthquakes in our study. JSON offset file is created based on the data downloaded from USGS (U.S. Geological Survey).</p><p>This paper, apply interactive processing in tectonics and seismology, presented offset in time series as a consequence of earthquakes. We have concluded that the cumulative movement of the Earth's crust is not only a consequence of large earthquakes but also the cause of many smaller accumulated movements caused by smaller earthquakes. The paper presents the contribution in the field of application of satellite positioning methods in geodynamic research and defines an approach that enables objective quantification of deformations of the Earth's crust in cases of seismic events. The earthquake occurred in a fault that extends approximately in the northwest-southeast direction and passes through Pokuplje near Petrinja and Glina. This fault is the boundary between two very different tectonic blocks, the Dinarides and the Pannonian Basin. Therefore, it can be said that the different stresses and displacements in these blocks are compensated through these blocks.</p>
