2016 – 2019: VEGA grant 1/0462/16 Solution of actual problems in geophysical and geodetic detection of underground cavities in environmental and archaeological applications (head of the project);

Annotation: Detection and monitoring of underground cavities belongs among important environmental risk assessments, on the other hand it is the aim of the research in archaeological and historical scientific studies. Geophysical (microgravimetry, ERT, GPR) and geodetic methods (LiDAR, InSAR, UAV photogrammetry) manifest a useful tool for underground cavities detection and monitoring. Aim of the proposed project is the study of their properties in methodical and also application area. By means of numerical modelling of cavities existence and development in geophysical fields we can obtain valuable information and use them in successful detection and monitoring of them in practice. Planned analysis of studied methods properties in the frame of practical use we would like to realize in localities in selected mining areas - historical and present ones (Horná Nitra and Banská Štiavnica sites) and during historical research of known cultural monuments (church of St. Martin in Bratislava and church of St. Nicholas in Trnava).

2020 – 2023: VEGA grant 2/0100/20 Density analysis of the rock environment based on surface and underground gravity measurements (deputy of the project head);

Annotation: Density of rocks is a basic parameter characterizing the rock environment from the point of view of gravimetry. Its correct estimation for a given area is a necessary condition for correct processing and interpretation of gravimetric measurements. In the case of Slovakia that fact is emphasized by the rugged mountainous character of our territory, and at the same time complicated geological

structure of the Western Carpathians. It is known that laboratory density analyzes of rock samples do not always reflect the natural density properties of the rocks. For that reason methods of direct analysis of gravimetric measurements are becoming increasingly important. In particular, the combination of surface and underground gravimetric measurements is a very suitable approach. The aim of the project will be to develop this methodology using the most modern geophysical and geodetic methods. The subject of the research will also be the application of the above-mentioned methodology in the archaeological research.

2017-2021: project APVV-16-0146 Multidisciplinary research of geophysical and structural parameters, and environmental impacts of faults of the Western Carpathians (investigator);

Annotation: Ambition of the project is to localize the trace and to identify some spatial, structural, physical, dynamic and age parameters of selected dislocations using combination of multidisciplinary field research methods. The faults are mapped by geophysical field survey methods and investigated structurally and some of them will be dated. The recent activity of the faults is monitored by measurements of seismic events and by periodical geodetic measurements based on GNSS technology. First time, for the detection of recent vertical movement along specific fault (the Vikartovce fault in the Tatra region), the very accurate measurements of gravity values and satellite radar interferometry will be applied in the Western Carpathians.

2018 - 2022: project COST Action CA17131: The Soil Science and Archaeo-geophysics Alliance (SAGA): going beyond prospection (Managing Committee member - representant of Slovak Republic);

Annotation: The ‘Soil science & Archaeo-Geophysics Alliance: going beyond prospection’ (SAGA) is a new interdisciplinary network of scientists. During the next four years (26 October 2018 - 25 October 2022) SAGA has developed, promoted and facilitated research activities bringing together archaeogeophysics and soil science with the overall goal of maximising interpretation of proxy data for archaeological purposes. The network and related activities were funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) and the grant was administrated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). SAGA was coordinated by a Management Committee (MC) composed of 87 experts from 34 countries and integrates experts working in industry, management and academia. Participation in the network and its activities was open to institutions and individuals with strong interests in contributing towards SAGA’s objectives. Project hes resulted creation of new collaborations and publications of several important papers in the branch of archaeo-geophysics.

2020-2024: project APVV-19-0150 New Bouguer anomaly map of the Alpine-Carpathian area: a tool for gravity and tectonic applications (principal investigator)

Annotation: Exact calculation of the complete Bouguer anomalies (CBA) plays an important role in applied gravimetry, whereas these serve as the main input into geological, structural and tectonic interpretation (in CBA maps all non-geological influences – mainly the manifestation of relief - are suppresed and the density inhomogeneities in lithosphere structure are displayed). The team of investigators of the submitted project was invited in the frame of an European initiative (AlpArray Gravity Research Group) with the aim to create a new map of CBA from the Alpine-Carpathian area. Up to day published solutions, coming from the so-called „Slovak gravimetric school“ (e.g.: reambulation of gravimetric databases on the national level, calculation of near and distant topographic effects, regularized, transformations of potential fields, 3D complex density modelling with the introduction of the geological corrections, stripping of gravimetric fields) could be further developed and applied during the tectonic interpretation of the new CBA map from the Alpine-Carpathian region with the aim to improve the knowledge about Alpine orogenesis and its relation to the upper-mantle dynamics. As a part of the project, there are planned also verification field measurements, which can contribute to the improvement of the precision of the gravimetrical dataset of the Alpine-Carpathian area. Project has chance to develop the methodics of CBA calculation in high-mountains environment using the concept of ellipsoidal heights and to deliver to other experts an unique new gravimetric map from the region of Western and Central Europe. Main output of the project will be

the new CBA map from the Alpine-Carpathian region in a digital format (grid 4x4 km), which will be provided for a realisation of gravimetric, geodynamic, exploration, geothermal and other studies and researches. Additional outputs of the project will be the transformed maps (grids) of CBA field.
