    Analiza zmienności polskich pokładów soli kamiennej w aspekcie magazynowania gazu
    (2011) Ślizowski, Jarosław; Urbańczyk, Kazimierz; Lankof, Leszek; Serbin, Karolina
    Until now, the only geological maps used in design of the location of underground gas storage facility in rock salt beds were contour maps showing thickness and depth of the deposit. On their basis, the possible locations of such storage facilities on the Foresudetic Monocline and the Leba elevation have been selected. Nevertheless, these types of maps are not sufficient enough to determine the optimal location, which in the case of gas storage caverns is a function of thickness and depth of the deposit. In the paper it is explained how maps of the attractiveness of the regions in terms of short-term and long-term storage capacity have been constructed. The presented results represent the first stage of the research and relate only to the analysis of geological and mining conditions.

    Special purpose engineering geological maps of slope failures in Slovakia
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Baliak, František; Striček, Igor
    The territory of Slovakia is characteristic with extremely frequent occurrences of various types of slope failures. Especially landslides are one of the major geotechnical problems in Slovakia. The landslides significantly affect building and operation of large amounts of transport, watermanagement and underground constructions. Results of regional research of slope stability of certain areas are perfectly illustrated in the special purpose engineering-geological maps of slope failures, which are usually made in scales from 1:5000 to 1:50 000. Slope failure maps can be classified by the content, type of compilation and their purpose. The most prevalent are large scale (M = 1:10 000) maps of engineering geological conditions and medium scale (M = 1:50 000) landslide susceptibility maps. Special purpose engineering geological maps of slope failures appear to be the most appropriate information for investors, city planners and developers.
