17892 Ground Deformation Mapping of Solotvyno Mine Area Using Radar Data and GIS 17892 Ground Deformation Mapping of Solotvyno Mine Area Using Radar Data and GIS O. Trofymchuk, *Y. Anpilova, Y. Yakovliev (Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of NASU), I. Zinkiv (Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy) SUMMARY The analysis of the spatial-temporal changes of the salt-rock massif stress-strain state during the flooding of the Solotvyno mines was made by the authors using the data of terrestrial interferometry within the mine area. The models of geological structures deformation built in the GIS allowed to obtain more reliable estimates of mines impact within the Solotvyno agglomeration on the objects of critical infrastructure and the hydro-ecological state of the Tisza river transboundary basin. The purpose of the analysis was to compare velocities and obtain the volume-balance parameters of the geological environment upper area and the surface deformation. The use of modern technologies for the surface deformations measurement allows to estimate the initial phases of dangerous changes in the stress-strain state of the geological environment and to improve the risk forecast. The main result is identifying a mathematical correlation between the surface sediments and the radial distance of their increase. Geoinformatics 2020 11-14 May 2020, Kyiv, Ukraine Introduction The current research subjects of the Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space are very diverse. One of the key areas of research are using geoinformation technologies (GIS) and remote sensing technologies (Trofymchuk et al., 2019; Korchenko et al., 2019; Trysnyuk et al., 2019), methods of mathematical modeling (Okhariev, 2019) to address pressing environmental safety issues. Among them, it is important to note the study of hazardous processes in geological medium and soils (Trofimchuk, 2002; Trofymchuk et al., 2017; 2018), in particular, the problems of landslides (Trofymchuk et al., 2013; Baum et al., 2014; Kaliukh et al., 2015). A new method for solving the inverse problem in well logging electrometry was also found (Myrontsov, 2019a; 2019b). In this paper was touched the using spatial data analysis and GIS models to estimate the deformation of the upper area of geological structures of the Carpathian region in the post-mining stage (flooded Solotvyno salt mines, Zakarpattia region). Method The research was carried out using modern technologies for measuring the ground surface deformation, allowing to estimate the dangerous changes of the stress-strain state of the geological environment and to improve the risk forecast for the critical infrastructure objects and the public health and safety in the agglomeration. Results Solotvyno rock salt mine, located in the Tiachiv district of Zakarpattia region, is a part of the right-bank catchment area of the transboundary Tisza River. Mine area are located within the first dry terraces, which contributes to the development and active infiltration feeding of aquifers, as well as the development of the flood processes that complicate mining-geological and ecological-geological conditions of opening, development and decommissioning of mines. Within the fields of the flooded mines, karst-breakdown processes and subsidence of the land surface, which have a long-term character in the conditions of increasing deformations of mine workings and humidification of the saline body (Yakovlev et.al., 2016), are actively expanding. With the help of the space images processing services, a retrospective analysis was conducted and the volume-balance dynamics of the destructive karst-breakdown phenomena and sediments of the land surface progress were studied by the authors. This material was obtained from the Wayback Digital Archive and used in the construction of surface deformation models in ArcGIS (Figure 1). Figure 1 Space survey data of the Solotvyno territory as of 13/09/2017 (left) 07/08/2019 (right) (Source: https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback/, 2019). Overall, the dramatic increase in the freshwater infiltration inflow and the related active development of technogenic karst caused the formation of destructive deformations of the ground surface and rocks Geoinformatics 2020 11-14 May 2020, Kiev, Ukraine of the residential and industrial buildings foundation, roads, and water-pumping networks of Solotvyno village. The activation of the deformation field of the industrially destroyed part of the salt dome occurs mainly in the following directions: south to the Solotvyno agglomeration and the Tisza river floodplain and north to the landslide slope of the Magura Mountain (Figure 2). Taking into account structural-geological and geodynamic heterogeneity of the Solotvyno structure, the authors have created a map of the main zones elements of geological structures (Figure 3) and calculated in percentage ratio the building area experiencing dangerous geodynamic influence in these zones (Figure 4). Figure 2 The map of ground deformation Solotvyno mining area map. Figure 3 Zones of geological structures of Solotvyno agglomeration Geoinformatics 2020 11-14 May 2020, Kiev, Ukraine Figure 4 Geodynamic influence of the salt mine on the construction of the Solotvyno agglomeration: 1 - zone of potential mega-landslide of Magura Mountain, 2 - zone of volcanic tuffs development, 3-zone of karst-collapse impact, 4 - zones of flooding above historical (old) mines (XIX c.), 5 - flanks of the mine field No.9, 6 - boundary zone of rifts, 7- zones of rifts, 8- zones of development of local landslide and erosion processes, 9 - linear weakened zones above drainage galleries. Conclusions The obtained data of ecological and geological parameters assessment of Solotvyno salt mine post- mining in the phase of uncontrolled flooding of mines allow to distinguish the following dangerous changes of stress-strain state of Solotvyno salt dome section: ● Development of dangerous ground surface deformations outside the predicted subsidence project area; ● The increasing impact of the global climate change hydrometeorological factors (increase in precipitation quantity and unevenness, increasing altitude and frequency of flooding and high waters, warming); ● The danger of increased seismic earthquakes due to hydro-geo-mechanical deformations of the flooded mines under the impact of transit (Vranch zone) and local earthquakes; ● The threat of accelerated development of subsurface and deep-block landslide deformations on the south slope of Magura Mountain (unordered building, water-logging, the formation of weakened zones over the mine number 9 development). To implement timely the mitigation and protection measures in the areas of flooded Solotvyno agglomeration salt mines impact, under the European Union Research Mission recommendations (Risk Assessment Report, 2016), the following actions are required: ● Improving the monitoring of the natural-technogenic geosystem “technogenic object – environment” based on remote data, physical-mathematical models, geological-geophysical survey and implementation of a program for the expertise development using radar interferometry and magnetic-electrical survey materials; ● Development and implementation of prioritised protective measures; ● Determination of the permissible geological environment changes limit as the main natural- technogenic geosystem safety element; ● Systematic health and safety risk assessment.

Research findings attribute weak CS influence to the restriction of citizen actions to data collection, with minimal or no engagement in co-design, co-creation, data analysis, and elucidation of results. We design a participatory GIS and CS methodology aimed at engaging the citizens in the entire Earth Observation (EO) project cycle. The methodology also seeks to address previous CS project challenges related to data quality, data interoperability, citizen-motivation, and participation. We draw the high-level requirements from the SENDAI framework of action and the three pillars of active citizen engagement, as enshrined in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration and the Aarhus Convention. The primary input of the methodology is the Haklay (2018) approach for participatory mapping and CS, and the Reed (2009) stakeholder analysis framework.

DOI: 10.15201/hungeobull.63.2.3 Ukraine’s window to the West: The role of international railway connection in Transcarpathia (Zakarpatt ia) Ivan G. SAVCHUK1 Abstract In this paper the role of railway network of Transcarpathia (Zakarpatt ia) in the interna- tional transport connections of Ukraine is investigated. The geopolitical importance and favourable transit location of this region within Ukraine along the international boundaries with Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, is well-known. The paper fi rst focuses on the role of natural, political and transport factors in the development of railway network in the region from a historical perspective. Then the importance of railway network in Transcarpathia for the development of international freight traffi c in the USSR is highlighted. The role of geopolitical interests in the past and present is demonstrated. The analytical part of the paper focuses on the latest changes in international freight traffi c in the region in the period of 2008–2011, and major obstacles in its development are also discussed. The peculiarities of international freight traffi c passing through border freight stations of the given region and the contiguous countries are assessed. Keywords: Ukraine, Transcarpathia, transport geography, railway network, geopolitics, international freight traffi c Introduction Even though railway networks plays a strategic role in the international com- munication of post-Soviet states this aspect has not been adequately investi- gated for Ukraine since its independence in 1991. Ukraine is one of the leading countries in Europe regarding the development of transport infrastructure and the volume of commercial passenger and freight traffi c.

  • Geodynamics and Gas Bearingness of the Transcarpathian Depression
    GEODYNAMICS AND GAS BEARINGS OF THE TRANSCARPATHIAN FOREDEEP Y. KRUPSKY “Zachidukrgeology”, Lviv, Mitskevitch st. 8, Ukraine; [email protected] Abstract: The Article presents an issue of geodynamic conditions of forming of the Transcarpathian foredeep from the position of tectonics of the lithospheric plates and proves an existence of a collision zone and a sloppy subdiction of Eurasian plate beneath the microplate of the Panonian depression. Gas field data of the foredeep is given. Key words: Transcarpathian foredeep, geological development, gas fields. The Transcarpathian Foredeep, as well as entire Carpathian folded system, to which it belongs, was formed in the epoch of the Alpian folding. In turn the Carpathian system is a member of Mediterranean folded belt, which appeared on a place of the vast Ocean Tethys that at the end of Middle Jurassic partitioned supercontinent Pangea on the Lavrasia and Gondvana. Early Alpian rifting in the Carpathian region was connected with the formation of large–scale cells and spreading of lithospheric plates. At the beginning of Сreaceous age the sea began to reduce. Thus, the Mediterranean folded belt is intercontinental, for the process of its development are characteristic the crust obsorption collision of continents and microcontinents. The presence of the oceanic crust in this region synonymously is confirmed by the revealed ophiolites, which are known in the Internal Carpathians, Transcarpathian depression and the Pannonian trough. Such placing co-ordinates with the major mechanism of obduction at the closure of ocean type basins. As is known, the ophiolites are always in the allochthonous state and stratigraphic the ophiolites of the Transcarpathian depression and Internal Carpathians are referred to the Triassic, Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous.
