Numerous publications have confirmed the important contribution of applying GNSS satellite measurements in geologically unstable areas to the displacement measurements of engineering objects. Along with linking GNSS measurements of benchmarks considered to be stable in the long term to the nearest reference stations at appropriate measurement intervals. So, it was possible to improve the accuracy of measurements of vertical and horizontal coordinates in the area of Szczecin, ushering in coordinate errors of less than 2 and 5 mm. For objects of strategic use such as natural gas tanks located in salt formations, however, these values are too high. The displacement of salt formations is 0.5 mm per year. Therefore, I decided to review existing measurement methods in two areas with different geological structures - Szczecin and Wroclaw NW and SW Poland - as numerous spectrums of SAR methods. As a different method, I present the advantages of the radiometric method with the prospect of performing surveys in the abovementioned areas. The publication focuses on statistical analyses, and GNSS and radiometric field measurements are in progress.
