Analysis of Geodetic Network Established Inside the Dobšinská Ice Cave Space

Abstract

The present article summarizes the progress and results of geodetic works during the construction of a geodetic network inside the Dobšinská Ice Cave underground space to monitor temporal and spatial changes in its ice filling. In order to objectively evaluate the changes, parameter estimations of the first- and second-order of the geodetic network from the set of field geodetic measurements were provided, and a robust analysis of the network was applied in terms of the assessment of impacts of potential outlier measurements on the network geometry.
