Charakterystyka termiczna głębokiej litosfery w rejonie Karpat polskich
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Wróblewska, Marta
Deep seismic sounding made in Europe enabled analysis of potential field methods to be made. The Carpathians were covered by seismic experiment CELEBRATION 2000 that initiated work with the problem within this area. Renewed analysis of borehole data, gathering new information together with applying a new estimation methodology respecting paleoclimatic effect, was the first preparatory stage for evaluation of deep lithosphere thermal regime in southern Poland. The outcome maps of temperature and heat flow density in Moho zone characterize thermal regime of the crust and allow research within the range of potential field issues to be continued. Increased values of heat flow and temperature are localized at Nowy Sącz - Krosno zone. It results from dipping - in of the asthenosphere that reaches here depth about 50 km.

Factors controlling 226Ra, 228Ra and their activity ratio in groundwater – an application in Polish Carpathian mineral waters
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2016) Nguyễn, Đình Hoàn; Kopeć, Mariusz; Nowak, Jakub
The influences of aquifer formations and water chemical composition on the occurrence and activity ratio of radium isotopes in groundwater are discussed. Based on the model of desorption/adsorption processes of natural radionuclides in the rock-water system, the concentrations of radium isotopes and their activity ratio in groundwater are evaluated by the numerical Monte Carlo method (MC). In cases where the groundwater is of a similar age, limited flow (up to several meters/year), the physical conditions and the uranium and thorium activity ratios in host water formations are similar, the activity concentrations of radium isotopes ($^{226}$Ra, $^{228}$Ra) and their activity ratio ($^{226}$Ra/$^{228}$Ra) are the highest in the water of high desorption coefficient for chloride sodium water (domination of $Cl^{-}$ , $Na^{+}$ ions), medium in water of moderate desorption (bicarbonate water - $HCO_{3}^{-}$ , $Ca^{2+}$) and the lowest in waters with a low desorption coefficient (sulfate ions prevailing – $SO_{4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2-}$). The statements are well confirmed in the case of the natural mineral waters from the Polish Outer Carpathians. The total dissolved solids (TDS) of the Polish Carpathians waters varies from several hundred milligrams per liter to several tens of thousands milligrams per liter. The minimum, maximum and average concentrations of $^{226}$Ra, $^{228}$Ra and their activity ratio ($^{226}$Ra/$^{228}$Ra) are 82, 1340, 456 mBq/L, 19, 1240, 354 mBq/L and 0.89, 7.6 and 2.0 for chloride waters, 4, 140, 45.8 mBq/L, 12, 171, 62.7 mBq/L and 0.3, 1.7 and 0.70 for bicarbonate waters and 0.8, 9.3, 3.6 mBq/L, 5.3, 54, 20.1 mBq/L and 0.1, 1.0, 0.3 for sulfate ones, respectively. The desorption coefficients are the highest for the $Cl-Na$, moderate for the $HCO_{3}-Ca$ and the lowest for the $SO_{4}-Ca$ waters (in contrast to the adsorption properties of these waters).

Jod jako składnik swoisty w wodach mineralnych Karpat polskich
(Data obrony: 2018-07-11) Konieczna, Joanna
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Polskie Karpaty są niezwykle bogate w wody mineralne. Jednym ze składników swoistych karpackich wód mineralnych jest jod. Aby woda została uznana za leczniczą wodę jodkową, w 1 dm3 musi zawierać co najmniej 1 mg jonu jodkowego. Wody jodkowe w polskich Karpatach zostały stwierdzone na obszarze kilkunastu miejscowości. Celem pracy jest scharakteryzowanie wód jodkowych występujących w polskich Karpatach oraz zwiększenie zainteresowania tego typu wodami. W pracy przedstawiono rolę jodu w organizmie, a także wykorzystanie wód jodkowych w balneoterapii oraz przemyśle rozlewniczym. Zaprezentowano również inne kierunki wykorzystania wód jodkowych.

The Żywiec Landscape Park established in 1986 is located in the western part of the High Beskid. Its area amounts to 350 870 ha and reaches south of the state border with Slovakia. In the north side park is surrounded by a protective zone covering 21 790 ha. The Żywiec Landscape Park was the first such protected area in the Polish Carpathians. The Żywiec Landscape Park spreads over the Magura Nappe consisting of the facies-tectonic units. It comprises flysch sediments of Late Cretaceous-Oligocene age. A considerable part of the parks occupies the lower mountain forest zone. In the Żywiec Landscape Park we can find 9 forest reserves with a total area about 417,64 ha. Only one waterfall and two caves belong to monuments of inanimate nature. To supplement the quantitative and objective state of nature conservation preliminary inventory of natural sites from the point of view at their different biotic and abiotic values was made. As a result of that work there exist project of eight reservations, three arable land, twelve monuments of inanimate nature and six objects of inanimate nature. First of all, two groups of objects have been take into account: 1- landslide from with rocky niches, ridge top trenches and block fields, 2- waterfalls accompanied by rocky stream channels.

Podhale Palaeogene Flysch as geotouristic attractive region - first look to its unique geological values
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2008) Krobicki, Michał; Golonka, Jan
The primary aim of this paper is note the attention to geological phenomena in the Podhale Flysch region, and especially lithological differentiation of flysch rocks, their sedimentological features, tectonic structures, stratigraphical and palaeontological aspects, and all of these according to recent regional position of Podhale and its palaeogeographical history in wider geodynamic context. Authors summarized the newest knowledge about geological history of the Podhale Flysch region and presented its geotouristic potential in one of the beautiful place in southern Poland. Short reviews of several aspects of geological works have been made according to: sedimentology, biostratigraphy, petrography and mineralogy, structural geology, organic geochemistry, palaoentology and palaeoecology, palaeogeography and basin analysis, geophysics, geothermy, Quaternary geology and geomorphology, inanimate nature protection and geotourism. In fact, the Podhale Flysch region is good place for geological education and promotion of Earth sciences.

Występowanie i wykorzystanie wód typu szczawy w uzdrowisku Żegiestów–Zdrój
(Data obrony: 2016-09-29) Nosek, Małgorzata
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Wody w Żegiestowie-Zdrój są to szczawy, czyli wody lecznicze o zawartości od $1 \; g/dm^{3}$ wolnego $CO_{2}$. W Polsce szczawy występują tylko na terenach Karpat i Sudetów. Powstanie szczaw w Żegiestowie jest związane z genezą ich głównego składnika, którym jest CO oraz procesami kształtującymi ich skład chemiczny. Uzdrowisko Żegiestów-Zdrój powstało w 1846 roku, na jego terenie wody mineralne ujmowane są czterema ujęciami : źródło Anna, odwiert Żegiestów II, odwiert Andrzej II i odwiert Zofia II. Wody występujące w uzdrowisku wykorzystywane są w balneoterapii w sanatorium Wiktor oraz do kuracji pitnej.
