Tomczyk 1 and Dominika Jasik 2 1 Department of Climatology, Adam Mickiewicz University, 61-680 Pozna´n,Poland 2 Department of Hydrology and Water Management, Adam Mickiewicz University, 61-680 Pozna´n,Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-61-829-6267 Received: 24 May 2019; Accepted: 12 July 2019; Published: 13 July 2019 Abstract: Atmospheric processes leading to extreme floods in the Polish Sudeten Mountains were described in this study. A direct impact of heavy precipitation on extremely high runoff episodes was confirmed, and an essential role of synoptic conditions in triggering abundant rainfall was proved. Synoptic conditions preceding each flood event were taken into consideration and the evolution of the pressure field as well as the moisture transport was investigated using the anomaly-based method. Maps of anomalies, constructed for the days prior to floods, enabled recognizing an early formation of negative centers of sea level pressure and also allowed distinguishing areas of positive departures of precipitable water content over Europe. Five cyclonic circulation patterns of different origin, and various extent and intensity, responsible for heavy, flood-triggering precipitation in the Sudetes, were assigned. Most rain-bringing cyclones form over the Mediterranean Sea and some of them over the Atlantic Ocean. A meridional southern transport of moisture was identified in most of the analyzed cases of floods. Recognizing the specific meteorological mechanisms of precipitation enhancement, involving evolution of pressure patterns, change in atmospheric moisture and occurrence of precipitation may contribute to a better understanding of the atmospheric forcing of floods in mountain areas and to improve predicting thereof. -

Like most of similar communities on the so-called Recovered Territories, it started to form aft er 1945 on “raw roots” aft er the German inhabitants of the area were removed. Th ey were replaced with people moved from the former eastern provinces of the Second Republic, among others from Kołomyja, but also from regions of central Poland. Also Poles returning from Germany, France and Romania sett led there. Th e area taken over by new sett lers had not been a cultural desert. Th e remains of material culture, mainly German, and the traditions of weaving and textile industry, reaching back to the Middle Ages, formed a huge potential for creating a vision of local cultural heritage for the newly forming community. Th ey also brought, however, their own notions of cultural heritage to the new area and, in addition, became subject to political pressure of recognising its “Piast” character as the “Recovered Territories”. Th e present re- search is an att empt to fi nd out to what extent that potential was utilised by new sett lers, who were carriers of various regional (or even national) cultures, for their creation of visions of the future, as well as how the dynamics of those transformations evolved. -
Subcarpathian Voivodeship)
Project co-financed by the Minister of Economic Development Business and Local Government, Finance, Economy, Innovation BUSINESS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT, FINANCE, ECONOMY, INNOVATIONS We are pleased to present to you a publication in which we describe the Pol- ish investment and export potential. In the first part, we present the regions that, according to the results of regional analyses, generate the highest percentage of domestic exports or show continuous development in this direction. The second part of the publication is dedicated to the presentation of Polish companies that are conquering the Polish export market and focusing largely on innovation in their business models. The voivodeships we present include, among others, the Masovian and Silesian regions, which generate almost a quarter of national exports. The value of the ex- port market in these regions as well as in Greater Poland exceeds EUR 20 billion. In recent years, other regions, such as Lower Silesian Voivodeship, have recorded the greatest increase in the value of exported goods. Zygmunt Berdychowski Chairman of the Economic Forum The synthetic summaries include a compendium of knowledge about the Programme Council voivodeships, thanks to which a potential investor or entrepreneur who wants to start or develop a business in Poland will find information about the location, net- work of connections, transport accessibility, level of urbanization, sectoral structure of enterprises, employment structure, percentages regarding projects with foreign capital. Of course, we also point out the innovation of a given voivodeship and smart specializations of the region. They include, among others, modern medicine, information technologies and energy. In the second part, you will find profiles of over 20 selected Polish companies that want to expand their cooperation with foreign partners. -

Św. Stanisława 11/5, 62-800 Kalisz, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The distributions of the Micropeplinae (Staphylinidae) within the present-day territory of Poland are summarized on the basis of surveys of the literature and collections. An updated and annotated checklist of Polish micropeplines is given, comprising two genera and seven species. Micropeplus staphylinoides (MARSHAM) has been removed from the list; the occurrence of M. caelatus ERICHSON and M. longipennis KRAATZ, reported by previous authors, needs to be confirmed with new findings. Micropeplus latus HAMPE is reported for the first time from Poland, based on a specimen collected in the Małopolska Upland, close to the Świętokrzyskie Mts. An updated identification key for Polish Micropeplus spp. is presented and habitus photographs of M. latus are provided. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Micropeplinae, Micropeplus latus, new record, Poland. INTRODUCTION The Micropeplinae are a relatively small group of staphylinids associated with moist forest floor litter, water margins, plant debris or nests of mammals; they feed on mould spores and hyphae (reviewed by CAMPBELL 1968; LÖBL & BURCKHARDT 1988; NEWTON 1991; THAYER 2005). Despite their distinctive morphology, these small beetles have been inadequately studied, and even knowledge of the distributions of species occurring in Central Europe is rather fragmentary. -

(2005) — The Ciechocinek Formation (Lower Jurassic) of SW Poland: petrology of green clastic rocks. Geol. Quart., 49 (3): 317–330. Warszawa. The Lower Jurassic Ciechocinek Formation from the Czêstochowa-Wieluñ region of SW Poland comprises greenish-grey muds and silts as well as poorly consolidated mudstones and siltstones with lenticular intercalations of fine-grained sands, sandstones and siderites. Analysis of a mineral composition indicates that the detrital material was derived mainly from the weathering of metamorphic and sedi- mentary rocks of the eastern Sudetes with their foreland and of the Upper Silesia area, and that this material underwent repeated redeposition. The Fe-rich chlorites which give the green colour to the mudstones of the Ciechocinek Formation are most probably early diagenetic minerals, genetically linked with the deposition in a brackish sedimentary basin.

New insights into the glacial history of southwestern Poland based on large-scale glaciotectonic deformations – a case study from the Czaple II Gravel Pit (Western Sudetes). Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 88: 341 – 359. Abstract: This paper presents the results of structural and sedimentological studies carried out in the outcrops of Quaternary (Middle Pleistocene) deposits near the village of Czaple in Lower Silesia, Western Sudetes. Fluvial sands, gravels and glacial tills traditionally assigned to the Middle Polish Pleistocene Glaciations (Odranian Glaci- ation) crop out in the active gravel pit Czaple II. In these deposits, the authors have recognised and documented nu- merous mesoscale glaciotectonic deformation structures that were previously undescribed from the mountainous part of the Sudetes. These structures represent effects of sediment deformation in both proglacial and subglacial settings, and include such features as asymmetrical and disharmonic folds, thrusts, steeply inclined reverse faults, normal faults and conjugate sets of fractures. -
Etchplain, Rock Pediments, Glacises and Morphostructural Analysis of the Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic) Jaromir Demek [email protected] Rudka Č

The massif belongs to the Western European Platform, which basement was consolidated by Variscan folding. The Bohemian Massif is characterized by a typical platform regime during Mesozoic and Paleogene Periods, i.e. by low intensity of tectonic movements and slight relief differentiation. This regime was reflected in a structural compatibility and morphological uniformity of the Massif, with altitudes of its planated surface (mostly peneplain with thick regolith mantle) ranging from 0 to 200 m a.s.l. The present-day relief of the Bohemian Massif developed for the most part in the Neotectonic period (Upper Oligocene to Quaternary). The older idea that o the Bohemian Massif responded to stresses caused by neotectonic movements generally as a rigid unit (with some differences in individual regions) and o that in the Bohemian Massif preserved in very large extent old peneplain (KUNSKÝ, 1968, p. 27), seams to be abandoned now. Already in 1930 Ms. Julie Moschelesová proposed the hypothesis of neotectonic megaanticlinals and megasynclinals in the basement of the Bohemian Massif. At present the Bohemian Massif is understood as a complex mountain, which relief is composed of megaanticlinals and megasynclinals, horstes and grabens and volcanic mountains? Individual parts of the Bohemian Massif moved in different directions and with different intensity during Neotectonic Period. The determination of directions, intensity and type of Neotectonic deformations of the Earth’s crust is difficult due to lack of correlated deposits. -
Burial and Thermal History of the Intra-Sudetic Basin (SW Poland) Constrained by 1-D Maturity Modelling – Implications for Coalification and Natural Gas Generation
Burial and thermal history of the Intra-Sudetic Basin (SW Poland) constrained by 1-D maturity modelling – implications for coalification and natural gas generation Dariusz Botor Kinetic maturity modelling was performed using publicly available vitrinite reflectance data, for nine well sections in the Intra-Sudetic Basin (NE part of the Bohemian Massif) in order to reconstruct its burial and thermal history. The modelling results indicate that the Carboniferous strata reached maximum palaeotemperatures of c. 100–260 °C in the latest Carboniferous to early Permian. The Carboniferous–Permian magmatic activity must have contributed to high heat flow (c. 90–150 mW/m2 during the late Palaeozoic), adding to the effect of sedimentary burial (to a total depth c. 3–6 km in the early Permian), and caused the coalification of organic matter (c. 0.6–4.5% of vitrinite reflectance), and finally natural gas generation. Major hydrocarbon products were dominated by methane. The second phase of temperature rise occurred due to mainly Late Cretaceous sedimentary burial, but it had no effect on the maturation of the Carboniferous organic matter. • Key words: Variscides, Bohemian Massif, Carboniferous, maturity modelling, coalification, vitrinite reflectance.
