The structure of the system is similar to the one developed for monitoring the movements of the European tectonic plate under the European Plate Observation System (EPOS) programme. The measurement part of the system consists of stationary devices and sensors working in monitoring mode, installed in various locations of the USCB, both on the surface and underground, as well as data sets from periodically performed measurements using land, air and satellite techniques. The IT part of the system will create a local data centre with specialized and dedicated processing and modelling software in which all measurement data will be archived and processed to a form which enables the analysis of the short and long-term impact of mining operations on the environment. As one of the elements of the system will be observations of the short and long-term gravity and morphology changes, the collected data will enable research in the field of the geodynamics of mining areas to be conducted. date: 2019 date_type: published publication: Journal of Sustainable Mining volume: 18 number: 4 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 198-207 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.jsm.2019.07.005 issn: 23003960 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsm.2019.07.005 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher acknowledgments2: IS-EPOS_platform acknowledgments2: EPOS-PL_project promotion: TCS_AH_promotional_materials citation: Mutke, Grzegorz and Kotyrba, Andrzej and Lurka, Adam and Olszewska, Dorota and Dykowski, Przemysław and Borkowski, Andrzej and Araszkiewicz, Andrzej and Baranski, Adam (2019) Upper Silesian Geophysical Observation System A unit of the EPOS project.
