  • Cold-Climate Landform Patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of Lithology, Relief and Glacial History
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE 2000 GEOGRAPHICA, XXXV, SUPPLEMENTUM, PAG. 185–210 Cold-climate landform patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of lithology, relief and glacial history ANDRZEJ TRACZYK, PIOTR MIGOŃ University of Wrocław, Department of Geography, Wrocław, Poland ABSTRACT The Sudetes have the whole range of landforms and deposits, traditionally described as periglacial. These include blockfields and blockslopes, frost-riven cliffs, tors and cryoplanation terraces, solifluction mantles, rock glaciers, talus slopes and patterned ground and loess covers. This paper examines the influence, which lithology and structure, inherited relief and time may have had on their development. It appears that different rock types support different associations of cold climate landforms. Rock glaciers, blockfields and blockstreams develop on massive, well-jointed rocks. Cryogenic terraces, rock steps, patterned ground and heterogenic solifluction mantles are typical for most metamorphic rocks. No distinctive landforms occur on rocks breaking down through microgelivation. The variety of slope form is largely inherited from pre- Pleistocene times and includes convex-concave, stepped, pediment-like, gravitational rectilinear and concave free face-talus slopes. In spite of ubiquitous solifluction and permafrost creep no uniform characteristic ‘periglacial’ slope profile has been created. Mid-Pleistocene trimline has been identified on nunataks in the formerly glaciated part of the Sudetes and in their foreland. Hence it is proposed that rock-cut periglacial relief of the Sudetes is the cumulative effect of many successive cold periods during the Pleistocene and the last glacial period alone was of relatively minor importance. By contrast, slope cover deposits are usually of the Last Glacial age. Key words: cold-climate landforms, the Sudetes 1.

  • Detailed Assessment of the Effects of Meteorological Conditions on PM10
    atmosphere Article Detailed Assessment of the Effects of Meteorological Conditions on PM10 Concentrations in the Northeastern Part of the Czech Republic Vladimíra Volná 1,2,* and Daniel Hladký 1 1 Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, Na Šabatce 17, 143 06 Praha, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2 University of Ostrava, Faculty of Science, Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, 30. dubna 22, 701 03 Ostrava, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 April 2020; Accepted: 9 May 2020; Published: 12 May 2020 Abstract: This article assessed the links between PM10 pollution and meteorological conditions over the Czech-Polish border area at the Tˇrinec-Kosmosand Vˇeˇrˇnovicesites often burdened with high air pollution covering the years 2016–2019. For this purpose, the results of the measurements of special systems (ceilometers) that monitor the atmospheric boundary layer were used in the analysis. Meteorological conditions, including the mixing layer height (MLH), undoubtedly influence the air pollution level. Combinations of meteorological conditions and their influence on PM10 concentrations also vary, depending on the pollution sources of a certain area and the geographical conditions of the monitoring site. Gen1erally, the worst dispersion conditions for the PM10 air pollution level occur at low air temperatures, low wind speed, and low height of the mixing layer along with a wind direction from areas with a higher accumulation of pollution sources. The average PM10 concentrations at temperatures below 1 ◦C reach the highest values on the occurrence of a mixing layer height of up to 400 m at both sites. The influence of a rising height of the mixing layer at temperatures below 1 ◦C on the average PM10 concentrations at Tˇrinec-Kosmos site is not as significant as in the case of Vˇeˇrˇnovice,where a difference of several tens of µg m 3 in the average PM · − 10 concentrations was observed between levels of up to 200 m and levels of 200–300 m.

  • Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, Poland) for Geothermal Purposes
    energies Review Prospects of Using Hydrocarbon Deposits from the Autochthonous Miocene Formation (Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, Poland) for Geothermal Purposes Anna Chmielowska * , Anna Sowizd˙ zał˙ and Barbara Tomaszewska Department of Fossil Fuels, Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Mickiewicza 30 Avenue, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (B.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: There are many oil and gas fields around the world where the vast number of wells have been abandoned or suspended, mainly due to the depletion of reserves. Those abandoned oil and gas wells (AOGWs) are often located in areas with a prospective geothermal potential and might be retrofitted to a geothermal system without high-cost drilling. In Poland, there are thousands of wells, either operating, abandoned or negative, that might be used for different geothermal applications. Thus, the aim of this paper is not only to review geothermal and petroleum facts about the Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, but also to find out the areas, geological structures or just AOGWs, which are the most prospective in case of geothermal utilization. Due to the inseparability of geological settings with both oil and gas, as well as geothermal conditionings, firstly, the geological background of the analyzed region was performed, considering mainly the autochthonous Miocene formation. Then, Citation: Chmielowska, A.; geothermal and petroleum detailed characteristics were made. In the case of geothermal parameters, Sowizd˙ zał,˙ A.; Tomaszewska, B. such as formation’s thickness, temperatures, water-bearing horizons, wells’ capacities, mineralization Prospects of Using Hydrocarbon and others were extensively examined.

  • Development of the Settlement System in the Ostrava Agglomeration and Possibilities of Its Restructuring
    GEOGRAFIE - SBORNIK CESKE GEOGRAFICKE SPOLECNOSTI ROK 2002 • CISLO 2 • ROCNIK 107 ANTONIN VAISHAR DEVELOPMENT OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM IN THE OSTRAVA AGGLOMERATION AND POSSIBILITIES OF ITS RESTRUCTURING A. V a ish a r: Development of the settlement system jn the Ostrava agglomeration and possibilities of its restructuring - Geografie - Sbornik CGS, 107, 2, pp. 171 - 188 (2002). Large-scale coal-mining. regions were showing specific settlement from the 19th century. The original typical system with towns as centres and their hinterlands was remodelled to a mosaic of coal pits, miner colonies (later housing quarters) and industrial factories interwoven with a dense web of infrastructure. The region of Ostrava is one of examples; here the mining of black coal linked up with the metallurgy of iron, heavy engineering and chemical industry. The region's economic base has experienced a restructuring in connexion with social changes after the year 1989 with individual towns seeking new functions and place in the system of settlement. KEY WORDS: settlement system - Ostrava agglomeration (Czechia) - coal mining and metallurgy restructuring. The work is a partial output of research implemented within a grant project No. S-3086005 funded by the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with the name "Effect of suppressed deep coal-mining on phenomena in lithosphere and environment", which at the same time links up with the key project of scholarly research No. K-3046108 solved in the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with the name "Impact of climatic and anthropogenic factors on live and lifeless environments". 1. Specific features of settlement in mining regions A stranger driving through the coal-mining region would easily lose his sense of direction being accustomed to the typical signs of drawing nearer to a town centre or leaving it behind.

V Olomouci, 10.8.2010 3 Summary: Wechsberg is as good as forgotten in the Czech Republic, although he was born and spent his early years in Mährisch Ostrau, today's Ostrava. The aim of the thesis is to introduce Wechsberg not primarily as an author, but mostly as a representative of an Ostravan Jew and give an overview of his childhood in Ostrava including an analysis of their social life, religious life and the identity search so typical for the Jewry of the Czech lands, not forgetting the specifics of Ostrava. The thesis consists of two parts. First of them is a short biography and a history of the Wechsberg family, as they belonged to the Jewish elite of Ostrava of that time and the family formed WechsbergÂs literature to a great degree.

  • MESTO DEJINY from Vienna to Ostrava – from Austria To
    MESTO a DEJINY From Vienna to Ostrava – from Austria to Czechoslovakia: Urban Rail Transport in the Czech Lands (on the Example of the Ostrava Agglomeration), 1894 – 1924 Michaela Závodná vol. 7, 2018, 1, pp. 18-39 The following study focuses on the development of urban rail transport in the Czech Lands before 1914, specifically regarding electrification and municipalization. The second part of the study looks at the issue of nostrification of a transport company in the aftermath of World War I. Based on a case of a specific company, the study analyses its causes, course and consequences, while placing it in the historical context of the making of so-called greater cities. It examines the economic and political motives that lead to the decision to move the transportation company’s headquarters to Czechoslovakia even before being prompted to do so by the state authorities. It follows the impacts of the war on the running of the company, and the gradual permeating of members of the local authorities into the company’s board of directors. Taking into account the transformation of the Ostrava city agglomeration into a modern metropolis, it analyses the factors that culminated in the local authority of Moravská Ostrava joining the transport company as the majority shareholder, as well as the consequences for the subsequent development of the company. Key words: Nineteenth – twentieth century. City. Urban rail transport. Nostrification process. Economic history. Moravská Ostrava. Czechoslovakia. Czech Lands. Electrification. Municipalization. The development of urban rail transport in the Czech Lands1 has not received adequate attention and is not on par with literature focusing on outside contexts.
