Abstract:

The historical levelling data of the epoch of 1950-1960 were used along with the levelling data of the epoch of 1970-1973 for the derivation of the vertical velocity field on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The methodology was based on the construction of a kinematic network and least squares adjustment and aimed at obtaining the vertical velocities of representative benchmarks. Being the first attempt of this kind for the area under investigation, no further interpretation of the result is given, apart from a couple of remarks concerning the correlation between the gradient surface and the general geophysical features.
