Winzer Jena-Optronik GmbH Prussingstr. 41, D-07745 Jena Jochen Knoch-Weber WISMUT GmbH Jagdschankenstr. 29, D-09117 Chemnitz Abstract In the former WISMUT uranium ore mining and processing area (Thuringia, Germany) controlling of small surface movements with "cmt'-accuracy is required. A promising tool is the D-INSAR technology, which could reduce man power spending, compared with other geodetic techniques (GPS, precise levelling). The GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ), the DASAJena-Optronik company (DJO) and the WISMUT company participate in a joint project (sponsored by the German Space Agency DARA) to apply INSAR in the WISMUT area, using a stable corner reflector (CR) reference net and measuring CRs. The phase difference between the CRs are investigated with the objective to monitor CR movements. The network has been initially positioned by GPS and is also controlled by terrestrial geodetic measurements. Experiments are presently being carried out by shifting CRs out of position. The project status and first results are presented in this paper. Keywords: corner reflectors, mining area, small motions Introduction Under the supervision of GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ), a SAR interferometry (INSAR) application project for monitoring surface deformations in the WISMUT mining area started in September 1995. Over more than 40 years the former Soviet-German corporation WISMUT was intensively occupied with exploitation and processing of uranium ore in Thuringia (Eastern Germany). In 1990, the uranium ore production stopped and the WISMUT Ltd. was established to control or perform the redevelopment measures in the 37 km2 large area. Seeking for cost-effective geodetic measurement methods to monitor anticipated surface movements, the spacebome SAR interferometry is obviously a promissing tool. The capability of differential INSAR (D-INSAR) was already shown in the "Bonn-Experiment", performed by ESA-ESRIN, INS-University of Stuttgart and Politecnico de Milano (Prati et al. Proceedings of the 'Fringe 96' Workshop on ERS SAR Interferometry, Zurich, 30 Sept. - 2 Oct. 1996 (ESA SP-406,Vol. II, December 1997) 6 performed by ESA-ESRIN, INS-University of Stuttgart and Politecnico de Milano (Prati et al. 1993). Several drawbacks for SAR applications are inherent in the WISMUT area: vegetation. limited space between mining facilities, abrupt terrain height changes in the precincts of slagheaps and of sludge settlement basins. To overcome some of the terrain deficiencies and to achieve the best possible accuracy, corner reflectors (CRs) are employed. A CR represents a defined geometrical reference point in the radar image and shows favourable reflection characteristics with respect to intensity and stability. The detection of surface movements with "cm-accuracy" is required. In a joint project the GFZ, the DASA Jena-Optronik company (DJO) and the WI SMUT company are developing procedures to derive point movements from a CR network analysis. This includes the elaboration of scientific background as well as practical testing. The methodology is evolved on the principle of the division of labour by GFZ and DJO. In addition. GFZ is mainly focusing on the project assessment where as the partner from industry, DJO will put the technique into practice. The WISMUT defines the user demands, and assesses the project continually from its point of view. Project MODIFI Within the project MODIFI (Monitoring of Displacement Fields by Radar Interferometry) the field work has reached a level of full availability of a corner reflector network (10 CRs) for experiments. The array is deployed over an area of l 5x6 km2. All CRs, with an edge length of 1.50 m, were installed on concret platforms of 2.5x2.5x0.8 m3 dimension, see Fig. I. They were centered above GPS groundmarkers with an accuracy of 1 mm, which means that the CR apex and the groundmarker is in one vertical line. The CRs can be rotated allowing an orientation on descending or ascending orbits of ERS-1/2. The axis of rotation coincides with the vertical line

  • SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica
    SECTION THREE: Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica The need to protect historic sites and monuments became apparent as the number of expeditions to the Antarctic increased. At the Seventh Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting it was agreed that a list of historic sites and monuments be created. So far 74 sites have been identified. All of them are monuments – human artifacts rather than areas – and many of them are in close proximity to scientific stations. Provision for protection of these sites is contained in Annex V, Article 8. Listed Historic Sites and Monuments may not be damaged, removed, or destroyed. 315 List of Historic Sites and Monuments Identified and Described by the Proposing Government or Governments 1. Flag mast erected in December 1965 at the South Geographical Pole by the First Argentine Overland Polar Expedition. 2. Rock cairn and plaques at Syowa Station (Lat 69°00’S, Long 39°35’E) in memory of Shin Fukushima, a member of the 4th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, who died in October 1960 while performing official duties. The cairn was erected on 11 January 1961, by his colleagues. Some of his ashes repose in the cairn. 3. Rock cairn and plaque on Proclamation Island, Enderby Land, erected in January 1930 by Sir Douglas Mawson (Lat 65°51’S, Long 53°41’E) The cairn and plaque commemorate the landing on Proclamation Island of Sir Douglas Mawson with a party from the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929­ 31. 4. Station building to which a bust of V. I. Lenin is fixed, together with a plaque in memory of the conquest of the Pole of Inaccessibility by Soviet Antarctic explorers in 1958 (Lat 83°06’S, Long 54°58’E).

In diesem Sinne zählen die drei Feldkampagnen in der inneren Marguerite Bay und auf den South Shetland Islands, an denen ich in den vergangenen Jahren teilnehmen konnte, zu den großen und prägenden Erlebnissen. Die dabei vor Ort erworbenen Kenntnisse und erhobenen Daten bilden die Grundlage meiner hier vorgestellten Arbeit, auch wenn sie nicht unmittelbar in deren Mittelpunkt stehen. Im besonderen Maße möchte ich mich bei Herrn Prof. Dr. H. Goßmann für die Möglichkeit der Teilnahme an diesen Kampagnen und für die Betreuung dieser Promotion bedanken. Mit großer Geduld und einer Begeisterung für das Thema, die zeitweilig die meinige deut- lich überstieg, trug er mit seiner Unterstützung wesentlich zum Gelingen der Arbeit bei.
