This article is an open access publication Abstract The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) is a narrow structure delineating the boundary between the Central and Outer Carpathians. It is built of nappes stacked during the Cretaceous and Paleocene and then re-folded in the Miocene during the formation of the Outer Carpathian overthrusts. The internal structure of the PKB at the Polish/Slovakian border first formed during northward nappe thrusting processes, which were most intense at the turn of the Cretaceous to the Paleocene. A secondary factor is the change in strike of the PKB turning from W–E to WNW–ESE, associated with dextral strike-slip faulting in the Carpathian basement (North-European Platform). These NNW-SSE oriented strike-slip fault zones, broadly parallel to the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone, are responsible for the segmentation of the down-going plate, which influenced the sub- duction and collision between the North-European Platform and the Central Carpathian Block. Among them, the most important role was played by the Krako´w—Myszko´w Fault Zone separating the Małopolska and Upper Silesian blocks in the Carpathian foreland. Shifts and interactions between the neighboring Pieniny and Outer Carpathian basins—during contemporaneous sedimentation and deformation—resulted in a difficult-to-define, transitional zone.

  • Portraits of Emigration: Sour Milk and Honey in the Promised Land
    Portraits of Emigration: Sour Milk and Honey in the Promised Land Mary Patrice Erdmans, University of North Carolina, Greensboro This article analyzes the moral tones of public emigration stories through an ex- ploratory analysis of newspaper stories published between 1990 and 1993 in a region in Poland with a century-old tradition of out-migration. Media stories arc fertile ground for examining values and myths because they negotiate between the micro-level process of individuals constructing meanings and the macro-level process of political economies producing meanings. I identified two sets of contradictory stories: (1) stories about the sending country cast emigrants as either home builders or home wreckers, and (2) sto- ries about the receiving country depicted America as either Horatio Alger's land of pos- sibility or a morally degenerate place where greed corrupts the soul. To explain these contradictions, I compare the institution of migration to (post)modcm culture and note that both contribute to social diversity and structural differentiation which lead to value inconsistencies. An article titled "The bitter taste of America," published in the Tygodnik Podhalanski in Poland, opens with a description of an aging elegant woman dressed in fading American clothes carefiilly counting her change as she does her daily shopping in Zakopane, a town in the mountainous Podhale region in southeastern Poland (Sowa 1991). The husband of this impoverished woman had emigrated to the United States in the 1970s, leaving her and their three children behind on the family land. He never returned, yet neither did he sever ties with the family. Over the years he sent them money and presents from Chicago, and eventually each of his children joined him there.

  • Geodynamical Studies of the Pieniny Klippen Belt in 1994 – 2011
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 14, EGU2012-2528, 2012 EGU General Assembly 2012 © Author(s) 2012 Geodynamical studies of the Pieniny Klippen Belt in 1994 – 2011 J Walo, A. Pachuta, D. Próchniewicz, T. Olszak, R. Szpunar, and M. Barlik Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland ([email protected]) The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB), which is situated in Southern Poland, is one of the main fault zones on the boundary of the outer and inner Carpathians. The geodynamical investigations which have been carried out since 1960s indicate that PKB demonstrates neo-tectonic activity. In 1994, the GPS measurements were included in the horizontal network and this epoch was used as a reference epoch for the further studies. In 1995-2001, when the measurements were interrupted, the Dunajec river dam and the water reservoirs in Czorsztyn and Sromowce Wyzne˙ have been built. This has created a new aspect in investigations related to the effect of tectonic movements on the dam. Taking that into account, the study was revived and the geodynamical investigations, which contain GPS, relative gravimetric and leveling observations, have been carried out annually, at the beginning of September, from 2001. In 2008, also the absolute gravity measurements (using FG-5 gravimeter) at three stations located in PKB and adjacent geological structures were included in the study. In this paper the result of horizontal displacement in the PKB area obtained from GPS measurement as well as gravity changes obtained from relative and absolute measurements in 1994-2011 period are presented and yields linear trend of horizontal displacement in north-east direction less than 1 mm/year..

  • Early Stages of Structural Evolution of the Carpathian Klippen Belt (Slovakian Pieniny Sector)
    Mineralia Slovaca, 44 (2012), 1 – 16 Web ISSN 1338-3523, ISSN 0369-2086 Early stages of structural evolution of the Carpathian Klippen Belt (Slovakian Pieniny sector) DUšan Plašienka Department of Geology and Paleontology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Mlynská dolina, SK-842 5 Bratislava, Slovak Republic; [email protected] Abstract The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) is a distinctive, suture-like tectonic zone that separates the External Carpathian Tertiary accretionary wedge (Flysch Belt) and the Cretaceous thrust stack of the Central Western Carpathians. Whereas the lithostratigraphy of various PKB units is fairly well-known, its tectonic evolution and development of the peculiar “klippen tectonic style” is a subject of very different opinions. We present structural data from the Pieniny sector of the PKB in NE Slovakia, which indicate that: ) distinction should be made between the “blocky” klippen and the “ribbon” klippen, since locally considerable reorientation of the original attitudes of structural elements is presumed for the former ones; 2) bedding poles of the “ribbon” klippen (Jurassic to Neocomian limestones and radiolarites) plot in a girdle in NWN–SES to N–S direction, while those of the klippen matrix (mid-Cretaceous to Lower Eocene marlstones, shales and sandstones) are shifted clockwise; 3) occasionally, the bedding-perpendicular cleavage and buckle folds record an early layer-parallel shortening, which are clearly older than brittle transpression-related faults and fractures – therefore they are interpreted as initial detachment and thrusting deformation elements that are likely related to the nappe-forming processes in the PKB; 4) fold axes, β-intersections of mesoscopic fold limb pairs, as well as a part of the bedding/ cleavage intersections are all oriented in the SW–NE direction (mean 55°), i.e.

Geomater., Vol. 6, No. 3 (155), 291-308, 2009 NEOTECTONICS OF THE POLISH CARPATHIANS IN THE LIGHT OF GEOMORPHIC STUDIES: A STATE OF THE ART Witold ZUCHIEWICZ Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, A. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Kraków, Poland *Corresponding author‘s e-mail: [email protected] (Received January 2009, accepted March 2009) ABSTRACT Neotectonics of the Carpathians used to be studied extensively, particular attention being paid to the effects of large-scale domal uplifts and open folding above marginal zones of thrusts and imbricated map-scale folds, and rarely to the characteristics of young faulting. Neotectonic faults tend to be associated with the margins of the Orava-Nowy Targ Basin, superposed on the boundary between the Inner and Outer Western Carpathians, as well as with some regions within the Outer Carpathians. The size of Quaternary tilting of the Tatra Mts. on the sub-Tatric fault were estimated at 100 to 300 m, and recent vertical crustal movements of this area detected by repeated precise levelling are in the range of 0.4-1.0 mm/yr in rate. Minor vertical block movements of oscillatory character (0.5-1 mm/yr) were detected along faults cutting the Pieniny Klippen Belt owing to repeated geodetic measurements performed on the Pieniny geodynamic test area. In the western part of the Western Outer Carpathians, middle and late Pleistocene reactivation of early Neogene thrust surfaces was suggested. Differentiated mobility of reactivated as normal Miocene faults (oriented (N-S to NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW) in the medial portion of the Dunajec River drainage basin appears to be indicated by the results of long-profile analyses of deformed straths, usually of early and middle Pleistocene age.

This study examines environmental properties of agricultural soils in the Pieniny National Park of Slovakia. Excluding the present status of basic soil properties and heavy metal content, the development tendency of evalu- ated properties is described between 1993 and 1997. One of the most important environmental properties is the susceptibility of ag- ricultural soils to pH value decrease, soil organic matter decrease, available P and K loss and to soil contamination, which has been mostly slight, resp. not determined during short-term compared period.

  • Geological Framework of the Tatra Mountains- Podhale Geothermal System (Carpathians)
    Bulletin d’Hydrogiologie No 17 (1999) Centre d’Hydrogiologie, Universiti de Neuchdtel ED~IONSPET ERLwc Geological framework of the Tatra Mountains- Podhale geothermal system (Carpathians) by J6zef Wieczorek GEOCONSULTMG, Smoluchowskiego4/1,30-083 Krak6w, Poland, in cooperation with PEC Geotermia Podhalanska S. A. Zakopane ABSTRACT The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in thermal water exploited for heating purposes as well as recreation (swimming pools). The thermal springs at the foot of the Tatra Mts. (Jaszczurowka, Oravice) are the surhce manifestations of an active geothermal system. Numerous drilling data have cohedthe existence of low-enthalpy geothermal reservoir under the entire Podhale basin. The thermal waters are associated with carbonates of highly fractured Nummulite Eocene and with Mesozoic rocks (carbonates of Middle Triassic, sandstones of Lower Jurassic).Two geothermal doublets were completed for themal water exploitation in the northern part of Podhale basin where thermal waters of 80-90°C occur at the depth -2000-3000m. KEVWORDS Thermal waters, geothermal system, geology, Carpathians 1. Entroduction The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in low-enthalpy thermal water (SOKOLOWSKI, 1992, CHOWANJEC & POPRAWA 1998). The Tatra Mts. massif elevated in Miocene and mainly in post-Miocene period form a recharge area of 350 km2however, the Pieniny Klippen Belt is considered an impermeable barrier for fluid flow. The Tatra Mts.-Podhale segment of the Inner Carpathians form an alpine-type artesian geothermal system, which is only a part of a much larger Inner Carpathian geothemml region, situated on both sides of Poland-Slovakian border around the Tatra Mts.
