MonArc Project Report 2019. Monitoring of Arctic Infrastructure

Abstract

This report presents the performed activities and deliverables within the Monitoring of Arctic lnfrastructure project (MonArc) in 2019 and gives references to field data records collected in 2017-2019. Settlements of surveyed buildings in 2017-2019 are presented. The performed activities include scientific and logistical planning of fieldworks, fieldworks, data processing, and reporting. The survey program 2019 comprised measurements on two buildings in Longyearbyen, one building in Barentsburg, one building in Pyramiden, a stretch of the town road, and two buildings in Svea. The field activities included geodetic surveys by leveling the previously established monitoring points on buildings (2017) with a laser level device. A 2019- data set was established for each building, and compared to the 2017-2018 sets ([1)). The data sets give the year to year development of settlements and will serve as reference for future long-time assessment of vertical movements (settlements) of the infrastructure in a 10-years perspective.
