The topic of the study will follow up on current detailed research into the tectonic structure of Slovakia in selected areas. One of the areas will be eastern Slovakia, where research has already begun and is planned in connection with a strong earthquake in 2023. Another area where such research has already begun is the Tatras and their internal and external tectonic contacts. Gravimetry is one method that can detect density contacts, including tectonic zones. The research will be based on an analysis of the existing gravimetric database of Slovakia and subsequent detailed research at selected locations.
