Greeting from Henryk Jabłoński - mayor of city Międzyzdroje I would like to welcome you all, who have decided to visit Międzyzdroje, especially the workshop participants. Our workshop has its focus on the environmental sustainability and protection in the broader sense. Międzyzdroje is one of the localities, where environmental activities are given high priority. The Wolin National Park takes up two-thirds of the city area. Międzyzdroje is our strongest partner in our efforts to preserve our natural environment – our most precious gift. The people who have come together here in Międzyzdroje are aware of that fact and that the environment has to be protected in a very special and delicate manner. I’d like to underline the fact that we should never forget that future generations also have a right to enjoy the attractiveness of the city, the beauty of the beach, the clear water of the Baltic Sea and the scenic surroundings of the natural environment, as we enjoy them today. The coastal environment should be protected and sustained for those who are looking forward to spending their time at the seaside – today and in the future. I would like to wish all of you a successful meeting and hope that all scheduled lectures will find your interest. I also hope that you will look back upon your stay in Międzyzdroje as a very pleasant and inspiring time. Grußwort des Bürgermeisters von Międzyzdroje Henryk Jabłoński Ich heiße alle herzlich willkommen, die sich entschlossen haben, Międzyzdroje zu besuchen, insbesondere die Teilnehmer der Tagung, die sich dem Thema des nachhaltigen Umweltschutzes im breiten Sinne widmet. Międzyzdroje gehört zu denjenigen Ortschaften, in denen Tätigkeiten im Umweltschutzbereich einen besonderen Platz einnehmen. Der Woliner Nationalpark macht zwei Drittel der Gemeinde aus. Er ist unser Verbündeter bei der Erhaltung dessen, was die Natur uns gegeben hat, was für uns am Wertvollsten ist. Hier in Międzyzdroje begegnen sich viele Menschen, die sich bewusst sind, dass man die Umwelt in besonderer Weise schützen soll. Wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass nach uns eine neue Generation kommt, die, wie wir heute, auch vom Reiz der Stadt, des Strandes, des noch klaren Wassers der Ostsee und der umgebenden Wälder des Woliner Nationalparks Gebrauch machen will. Die Küste soll nachhaltig geschützt werden und denjenigen dienen, die in der nahen und fernen Zukunft die Zeit an ihr verbringen werden. Ich wünsche Ihnen eine erfolgreiche Tagung und hoffe, dass die im Programm vorgesehenen Vorträge Ihr Interesse finden. Ich wünsche Ihnen auch angenehme Erinnerungen an alle Ereignisse, die Sie in Międzyzdroje erleben werden. Przemówienie powitalne Burmistrza Międzyzdrojów Pana Henryka Jabłońskiego Witam serdecznie Wszystkich tych, którzy chcieli odwiedzić Międzyzdroje, a szczególnie tych, którzy uczestniczą w konferencji poświęconej ochronie środowiska. Międzyzdroje są miejscowością, w której to działanie zmierzające do ochrony środowiska jest nadrzędne. Dwie trzecie gminy to Woliński Park, nasz sojusznik w utrzymaniu tego co dała nam natura, tego co jest dla nas najbardziej cenne. Tutaj w Międzyzdrojach spotyka się wiele osób, które często zapominają o tym, że przyrodę tę należy chronić. Bo jeśli my korzystając z uroków Międzyzdrojów, z uroków plaży i jeszcze czystej wody Bałtyku, a także z otaczających nas lasów Wolińskiego Parku zapomnimy o tym, że po nas przyjdą inni, to nie będziemy mieli do czego wracać. Bardzo często powtarzamy naszym gościom, pamiętajcie, że Międzyzdroje są miejscem nie tylko na dzisiaj, że ma ono także służyć tym, którzy będą jutro, pojutrze i w przyszłości, dla naszych dzieci, dla naszych wnuków. Życzę Państwu owocnych obrad i wielu naprawdę interesujących wykładów, które miałem okazję przeczytać w programie. Wszystkiego najlepszego, aby Państwo wywieźli z Międzyzdrojów poza zadowoleniem z tego, po co przyjechaliście, również miłe wspomnienia.

It is recalled how – at the moment a Polish state first came into being in the 10th century – its western border also followed a course more or less coinciding with these same two rivers. In subsequent cen- turies, the political limits of the Polish and German spheres of influence shifted markedly to the east. However, as a result of the drastic reverse suffered by Nazi Germany, the western border of Poland was re-set at the Oder-Neisse Line. Consideration is given to both the causes and consequences of this far-reaching geopolitical decision taken at the Potsdam Conference by the victorious Three Powers of the USSR, UK and USA. Key words Oder-Neisse Line • western border of Poland • Potsdam Conference • international boundaries Introduction districts – one for each successor – brought the loss, at first periodically and then irrevo- At the end of the 10th century, the Western cably, of the whole of Silesia and of Western border of Poland coincided approximately Pomerania.

    The Late Holocene Decline of Trapa Natans L. in Northern Poland in the Light of New Palaeobotanical and Geochemical Data

In this paper, we present a description of two new T. natans subfossil sites located outside its present northern distribution in Poland. High-resolution analysis of plant macrofossils supported by geochemical analysis were undertaken to reconstruct the palaeoecological habitat and examine the cause of the late Holocene decline of T. natans that took place ca. 4000 calibrated years before AD 1950 (cal. yr BP) in a paleolake, presently the Bagno Kusowo bog. Its disappearance was a consequence of terrestrialisation and the development of peatland. In paleolake sediments covered by the peat layer in the Mechacz Wielki bog, T. natans macrofossils were found from before ca. 3300 cal. yr BP. The decline ofT. natans could have resulted from the changes and development of other plant communities where the dominant role was played by Stratiotes aloides and Nymphaea sp.

Grunwaldzki 24, 50-363 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract. The aim of this study was to obtain the maximum daily rainfall descriptions based on 9 probability distributions in 12 meteorological stations located in Upper and Middle Odra river basin. Analysis included long-term period from 1961 to 2010. Regarding to AIC and BIC informational criterions Gamma distribution that appeared to be best fitted probability distribution to measurement rainfall data series. For several stations, Pareto, Weibull and generalized exponential distributions were also possible to use. For practical purposes it is necessary to carry out a similar analysis for much shorter rainfall intervals. The final evaluation of the suitability of individual probability distributions for constructing maximum rainfall probabilistic models requires further research. 1 Introduction The reliability of urban drainage systems is not fully achievable due to the random nature of precipitation. However, it must be designed in the way that fulfill the contemporary standards of drainage, which is defined as the adaptation of the system to receive the maximum (predicted) storm water streams with a frequency of appearance equal to the acceptable (socially acceptable) frequency of spillage into the terrain [1].

    Flood Risk of Lower Silesia Voivodship

    CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING REPORTS No. 10 2013 FLOOD RISK OF LOWER SILESIA VOIVODSHIP Mariusz ADYNKIEWICZ-PIRAGAS*, Iwona LEJCUŚ Institute of Meteorology and Water Mangement – National Resarch Instytute Wrocław Branch, Regional Research Department, Parkowa St. 30, 51-616 Wrocław, Poland Floods are natural events of a random nature that cause damage in property, agriculture, and industry. Floods in the upper and middle Odra basin, particularly on a large scale, are characterized by their specificity of arising and shaping. Analyses of historical material prove that the largest floods are during the summer season, especially in July and August. Those events are caused by wide and intensive precipitation lasting 2-3 days. Moreover spatial ranges in the Odra basin and runoff sequence are also the important reasons. Other important factors for the flood risk scale in a region is knowledge of the flood risk index established on the basis of observed floods or that of Maximum Probability Flood. In this paper flood risk in the territory of Lower Silesia Province was evaluated on the basis of chosen indices of flood risk. Keywords: Odra catchment, flood risk zones 1. INTRODUCTION Flood is a natural disaster that threatens the safety of people and animals, and cause damage to human property, and losses in the national economy. It is natural and random phenomenon. It can cause torrential rains, short thunderstorms, rapid melting of snow, strong winds on the coast from the sea towards the land and the freezing of rivers. Flood is a high water, during which water overflows the level of embankment crown and flood river valleys or depressed areas, thereby causing damage and financial and non-economic (social, moral, etc.) losses [Dubicki, Malinowska-Małek 1999].

  • Ecological Flood Protection in the Oder Catchment Area, with Emphasis on the Model Region 'Lower

    Ecological Flood Protection in the Oder Catchment Area, with Emphasis on the Model Region 'Lower

    Ecological Flood Protection in the Oder Catchment Area, with Emphasis on the Model Region 'Lower Oder Valley' ill.: Florian Schöne The Oder – an ecologically important Border River Action needed for nature-friendly Flood Protection The Oder is one of the last near-natural and free-flowing rivers in Europe and the only large, central European river which flows over 500 km with no barrages from the river mouth. Surrounded by softwood alluvial forests, the river is an important habitat for migratory fish such as sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and maraene (Coregonus maraena), and its oxbows and transitional biotopes also provide a habitat for priority protected species. At the Lower and Middle Oder is the "Lower Oder Valley Cross-Border Protected Area Complex" with the only German wetland National Park and the Polish Międzyodrze wetland, left to develop naturally for 70 years, as well as the Warta River-Mouth and Wolin National Parks, landscape parks and large-scale EU Natura 2000 sites. With the signing of the bilateral waterway agreement in the German-Polish border area of April 27, 2015 and the associated Concept for Regulation (CfR), the flood discharge at the Border Oder will be optimized and stable traffic conditions will be ensured in future for 90 percent of the year below and at 80 percent above the Warta River confluence, at a mean depth of 1.80 m. This is particularly relevant for the German-Polish icebreaker fleet. Closely related to the agreement and the Concept for Regulation is the Polish "Odra-Vistula Flood Management Project", which has been running at the World Bank since 2015 and is co-financed by the EU.

THE PROBLEM OF SO-CALLED BUG RIVER PROPERTY CLAIMS IN THE CASE LAW OF THE POLISH CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL AND THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS 1. THE GENESIS OF THE ZABUŻANIE PEOPLE’S1 CLAIMS 1. World War II brought about considerable geopolitical changes. Numerous nations had to pay the price of losing their sovereignty and succumbing to com- pulsory revisions of state borders. Central Eastern Europe – the main arena of war between two competing political blocs – arguably experienced the most drastic territorial transformations, which occurred without the consent of the interested nations. Consequently, these changes resulted in mass and, in most cases, invol- untary migration waves of people2. These processes affected Poles in a special way. By virtue of the agreements between the Big Three (the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union) post-war Poland gained lands in the West (formerly German territories located to the East of Oder and Lusatian Neisse) at the expense, however, of ter- ritories to the East of the so-called Curzon Line, delineated to a large extent by the Bug River. One consequence of territorial revisions at the eastern frontier of Poland was mass relocation of Polish citizens from the lands incorporated into the Soviet Union. It is estimated that in the period between 1933–1952 approx. 2 million people from the Eastern Borderlands (also known as Kresy) had to leave their homes (hereinafter: the Zabużanie people). Whilst in the literature they are often referred to as repatriates, the term “displaced persons” seems more adequate3.

    Silesian Administrative Authorities and Territorial Transformations of Silesia (1918-1945)

    Tomasz Kruszewski Institute of History of State and Law, University of Wrocław Silesian administrative authorities and territorial transformations of Silesia (1918-1945) Abstract: The publication concerns conditions in the 19th and 20th centuries leading to the dissolution of Silesian unity as well as the viewpoints of German, Polish and Czechoslovakian political au- thorities regarding Silesian unity following World War I, while also taking into account the viewpoints of Church institutions. The text is an analysis and a summary of existing works on the subject matter, with the main area of interest being the analysis of legal, organizational and administrative institutions concerning their policies towards the dissolution of Silesian unity. The latter half of the 19th century was chiefly responsible for the breakup of Silesian unity, due to the rise of the idea of nationalism leading to the idea of nation-states. The materialization of this idea in respect of Silesia, a region inhabited by three nations, two of which were then build- ing their own states, could only mean the dissolution of the monolithic administrative structure erected within the Second German Reich. The realisation of these ideas was brought on by World War I, in whose wake the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Czechoslovakian were born, while the Second German Reich collapsed. Keywords: Silesia, administration, Church history, political life, interwar period Introduction: political and legal factors behind the disintegration of the uniform province of Silesia The defeat of the Wilhelmine Reich in the First World War brought about the final collapse of the territorial unity of Silesia; it has never been restored.

Presner, Co-Chair Professor Roman Koropeckyj, Co-Chair My dissertation investigates the cinematic representation of forced migration (due to the border changes enacted by the Yalta and Potsdam conferences in 1945) in East Germany, West Germany, and Poland, from 1945–1970. My thesis is that, while the representations of these forced migrations appear infrequently in feature film during this period, they not only exist, but perform an important function in the establishment of foundational national narratives in the audiovisual sphere. Rather than declare the existence of some sort of visual taboo, I determine, firstly, why these images appear infrequently; secondly, how and to what purpose(s) existing representations are mobilized; and, thirdly, their relationship to popular and official discourses.
