DEVELOPED ACTIVITY
Since 1989, GNSS has been used for geodetic purposes (establishing geodetic networks, recovering geodetic networks, determining transformation parameters between data, volcanic and tectonic plate monitoring networks). Since 2004, he has used GNSS to measure displacements in concrete dams, embankment dams, gravity dams, rockfill dams and also to monitor other civil engineering structures.
