Abstract
The GNSS deformation monitoring network of the Three Gorges Reservoir is introduced. The GNSS monitoring strategy from 2011 to 2012 is elaborately analyzed from technology design, field observation, data processing and deformation analysis. The baseline length variations of these GNSS stations from 2011 to 2012 are less than 5 mm, and the vertical variation of each station is about 10 mm. The computing results show that the two-year’s variation of the crustal deformation is small, and then the surface structure variation is stable in present around the Three Gorges Reservoir area.
