The Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning method of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely used for landslide monitoring. The stability of its reference station is crucial to obtain accurate and reliable monitoring results. Unstable reference stations due to the geological environment and human activities are difficult to detect and in practical applications often ignored. As a result, it affects the positioning solutions and subsequently the interpretation and detection of landslide motions, which must be addressed in GNSS landslide monitoring. To solve this problem, we propose using the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique to analyze the stability of the reference station by verifying its position. The deformations of the monitoring stations are then compensated. First, the reference station coordinates are obtained by the PPP technique and tectonic motion is considered in data processing. The change or breakout of the reference station position is then determined using a cumulative sum control chart method. Finally, each monitoring station's displacements are compensated according to the displacements of the reference station. According to the results of the Tengqing landslide experiment, the PPP technique can be used in GNSS landslide monitoring to analyze the stability of reference stations. With PPP, millimeter-level accuracy for the coordinates of reference stations is achieved. Compared to the traditional deformation series, the compensated displacement series more reliably reflects the landslide motions. This study will increase the reliability of monitoring results and contribute to implementing GNSS in monitoring landslides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
