摘要

In the West Bohemian region, Central Europe, the volcanic activity appeared in late Tertiary, the Miocene. The present intraplate magmatic activity makes itself felt by flows of gaseous and liquid fluids, enhanced geodynamic mobility of geological structures and generation of earthquake swarms. Position data of two permanent Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) stations located in the region were used to calculate the time variations of the horizontal strain field that were compared with the He-3/He-4 ratios and earthquake swarm occurrences. The strains and He-3/He-4 ratios displayed a positive relation supported by the earlier opinions on the dependence of the dynamics of the region on the fluid occurrence. Analysis of these quantities observed in 2006-2007 period indicated when the compressions calmed and the He-3/He-4 ratios grew then the earthquake events occurred. It presumes the detected variations relate to compressions and extensions in the region. The strain field changes monitored during the 2008 swarm proved the relation found above. The observed connections could be applied in future at selected regions in earthquake forecast procedures.
