Geochemia bromu i wykształcenie utworów solnych cechsztynu w wybranych otworach wiertniczych w wysadzie solnym Góra koło Inowrocławia
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Czapowski, Grzegorz; Tomassi-Morawiec, Hanna; Tadych, Joanna; Grzybowski, Łukasz; Sztyrak, Tadeusz
Detailed macroscopic profiling of salt cores from selected wells drilled in the Góra salt diapir (central Poland), supported with bromine content analyses, enabled to define and characterize the succession of Zechstein (Upper Permian) lithostratigraphic units in each well. The study results allowed also to define better the type of tectonic macrodeformations (as folds) within studied salt series, being so common in any salt diapir, but difficult to observe in well sections.

Relations between present relief on the border of lowlands and highlands and geological structures of the Paleozoic Platform - a case study from central Poland
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Szmidt, Aleksander; Wachecka-Kotkowska, Lucyna
The article is an attempt to find relations between geology and the dynamics of the Mesozoic surface of the Łódź Synclinorium, the Radomsko Elevation and the Bełchatów Graben and the present relief on the border of the Polish Lowlands and Uplands in its central part. Fossil relief has been compared with the present one as related to the extent of the recession phases of the Saalian (Wartanian) ice-sheet. A significant convergence has been found between the Mesozoic surface plain and the main morphologic elements. The role of elevations and fossil valleys has been stressed as stable forms in the pre-Pleistocene and contemporary landscape. Also stressed has been the meaning of grabens and elevations enforcing longer stoppages of the Wartanian stadial of the Middle Polish Glaciations.

Structural and textural response to dynamics of fluvioglacial processes of the Rzymsko esker sediments, Central Poland
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2016) Frydrych, Małgorzata
The study was conducted in the Rzymsko esker, in the Eastern part of the Turek Upland Plain, within the range of the Warta Glaciation (Saalian II). The form was accumulated in a tunnel valley, which was partially filled with esker sediments. Lithofacies analysis, extended by a detailed analysis of clasts, made it possible to identify a considerable variability of sedimentation conditions. At the initial stage, transport and accumulation of sediments took place in the conditions of high energy hydraulic flows or hyperconcentrated flows. The flow energy rose cyclically, which was recorded as sediments coarsening. Deposits of boulders as well as massive and cross-bedded gravels were identified, a record of catastrophic glacial floods. During the later stage of esker formation, sandy and gravelly sediments were accumulated in an open crevasse. The strong erosional force of subglacial water is confirmed by an extremely high content of local rocks in the gravelly fraction (30–87%) and its very good roundness. Zingg shape analysis (1935) revealed a clear predominance of oblate forms among local clasts and equant fennoscandian erratics. A dependency was also found between the processing method and petrographic characteristics.

The provenance of erratic pebbles from a till in the vicinity of the city of Radom, central Poland
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Strzelecki, Piotr Jan
Petrographic analysis, including the indicator erratics count method of coarse pebbles (20–60 mm), was performed for the first subsurface layer of the glacial till in the vicinity of the city of Radom. Crystalline rocks comprise 60% of the sample, whereas carbonate and clastic sedimentary rocks total 18% and 15%, respectively. Among the crystalline rocks, 14% clasts were identified as indicator erratics. The majority of the indictor erratics originated from the Åland region (63%). Significant contributions were also derived from the central Baltic Basin (12%), Ångermanland (9%) and Uppland (9%) regions. Trace amounts are recorded from the northern Baltic, Dalarna and Småland regions. The spatial distribution of crystalline erratic source areas suggests material incorporation into an ice sheet mainly from central-eastern Fennoscandia. The indicator assemblage composition indicates the Odranian (MIS 6) origin of the till. The majority of the erratic sedimentary rocks were derived from the central and southern Baltic Basin while local rocks comprise a minor proportion. The relatively low carbonate clasts content indicates that the till was affected by partial decalcification resulting from post-depositional chemical weathering. This study supplements the results on erratic pebble provenance in the glacial tills of Middle Polish Glaciation Complex in Poland.
