Development of karst phenomena for geotourism in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic)
(2011) Migoń, Piotr
The Moravian Karst in the south-eastern part of the Czech Republic has considerable potential for the development of geotourism. It is characterized by outstanding geodiversity, revealed in abundant, surface and subterranean karst landforms, as well as protracted history of karst evolution which can be traced back to the Mesozoic. An additional value is provided by the presence of cultural heritage, related to exploitation and processing of mineral resources genetically linked to the karst environment. The significance of this area is further enhanced by easy access to karst landforms and phenomena. Five caves, each of different morphology, can be visited. A dense network of educational trails, marked paths, forestry and field-access roads allows the visitor to reach all interesting features of karst morphology.

Geologiczne warunki eksploatacji złoża wapieni karbońskich „Czatkowice”
(Data obrony: 2013-07-29) Honza, Agnieszka
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
The thesis: Geological conditions of exploitation of Carboniferous limestone „Czatkowice” deposit has been done after undergoing a diploma apprenticeship carried in Limestone Mine “Czatkowice” in Krzeszowice, written due to personal experience and available geological reports. All observations done as well as cartographical works in the excavation allowed to follow internal design deposit (lithological variability of rock layers, tectonic and karstic phenomenon).”Czatkowice” deposit has a very complicated and sophisticated internal structure. The phenomena and karst formations are undesirable from the perspective of raw materials as they may lead to a reduction in the quality of minerals and therefore may diminish the possibility of its use. Existing tectonic disturbances make exploitation difficult, reduce the quality of minerals and provide migration paths for water. However, the need for removal of overburden pulp adversely affect the economic conditions of the project. Currently, due to the hydrogeological conditions it is impossible to working at the level called 310.

Geotouristic attractiveness of the show caves of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland area
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Dzięgiel, Maciej
In this paper, six scenic caves situated in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland area were the subject for comparative research, considered as very essential examples of underground geotouristic attractions, displaying karst forms completely different from each other. These include: Smocza Jama Cave (Dragon's Den) in Kraków city, Łokietek and Ciemna (Dark) Cave at Ojców, Wierzchowska Górna Cave at Wierzchowie, Nietoperzowa-Zygmunta Cave at Jerzmanowice and Głęboka (Deep) Cave at Podlesice. The first five caves are situated in the southern part of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and the last one, in its northern part. All of them are situated in the Silesian-Kraków Monocline. These caves developed in the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) massive limestones. Their karst forms are various and picturesque. Numerous animal remnants and traces of different prehistorical cultures were discovered and collected by researchers within and around three caves situated within the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland area. The geotouristic attractiveness of all six caves was demonstrated by their comparative geotourism valorisation evaluation adapted to meet tourists', educators' and investors' expectations and needs. The statistical data of the annual number of visitors at these objects were also discussed. In general, interest in these caves as geotouristic abiotic nature objects has been growing regularly up until today. They have become very widely known in Poland. Moreover, the Smocza Jama Cave, associated with the Royal Castle on the Wawel Hill, and the Łokietek Cave have become very popular worldwide.

Ground Penetrating Radar investigation of limestone karst objects in the Botanical Garden in Kielce
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2016) Zieliński, Artur; Łyskowski, Mikołaj; Mazurkiewicz, Ewelina
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is one of the most effective and rapid types of geophysical survey methods. The present study was carried out in the Botanical Garden in Kielce, which is currently undergoing a second stage of infrastructure development. This object is located in the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) Region, characterized by large scale deformations in the development of karst origins. Those structures threaten existing buildings and can be obstacles to newly constructed ones. Radargrams presented in this paper show significant potential of the GPR method in mapping of karst phenomena. Proper acquisition parameters and optimal processing of raw data resulted in a clear image of the structure of rock mass under the Botanical Garden, along acquired profile lines. Additionally, precise GPS coordinate links and established researchers’ experience of conducting this type of surveys helped in the process of mapping the anomalies in the limestone. Under these conditions, the survey minimized the need for a second method and resulted in high quality data acquisition. The study provided information about underlying rock mass structure development and registered anomalies whose origins include voids or caves of karst genesis. The area studied covers a large part of the Botanical Garden. Described anomalies can be dynamic in origin.

Hydrogeologiczne właściwości dewońskich skał węglanowych w masywie świętokrzyskim
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Rzonca, Bartłomiej
The monograph concerns the regional-scale research done on the identifying hydrogeological properties of Devonian limestone and dolomites. There were examined the properties of the hydraulic subsystems of the entire massifs: rock matrix, fissures, karst voids and the residual deposits filling the karst voids. The results demonstrated clearly insignificant role of the matrix (also as water storage), the hydraulic role of the karst forms is also strongly limited by the fillings properties. The essential part of the publication is a reinterpretation of the regional set of pumping test results (218 wells) in steady-state conditions. The evaluation demonstrated very high, random variability of the environment. The interpretations of some unsteady-state tests exactly confirmed the values obtained from the steady-state conditions pumping.

Torcal de Antequera - kamienne miasto w Andaluzji
(2010) Janusz, Małgorzata; Lorenc, Marek Wojciech
The Torcal de Antequera is one of the best-preserved karst landscapes in Europe developed in Jurassic, oolithic, brecciated and detrital limestones. The rock formation is well bedded and cut by a dense, regular fracture system. A relatively small area (20 km$^{2}$) comprises four distinct geomorphological zones. At the surface visitors can recognize a variety of landforms produced by water and wind erosion whereas underground there exists a labirynth of karst forms: deep shafts, meandering galleries and huge caves. Since 1978 the Torcal de Antequera has been protected as a Natural Park and since 1989 it has become a Nature Site. The park combines a collection of remarkable geological valours and an exceptional biodiversity.

Warunki hydrogeologiczne w utworach czwartorzędowych w rejonie pomiędzy Chechłem a Grabową - część wschodnia
(Data obrony: 2017-10-02) Bojkowski, Jerzy
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Obszar badań stanowi wschodnia część doliny Centurii na odcinku pomiędzy Chechłem a Grabową. Dolina stanowi wypreparowane obniżenie wypełnione czwartorzędowymi utworami piaszczystymi, zawierającymi lokalnie domieszki materii organicznej. W kierunku południowym przechodzi w pradolinę Białej Przemszy. Na podstawie badań stwierdzono, że wody krążące w utworach czwartorzędowych pochodzą z jurajskiego piętra wodonośnego. Wody te migrując w osadach piaszczystych ulegają zanieczyszczeniu wskutek infiltracji opadów atmosferycznych. Największe zanieczyszczenie stanowią azotany. Wody są także zanieczyszczone przez jony: Fe, Al, Mn, Ni, PO4, Sb i Cr. Zwierciadło wód gruntowych w pobliżu cieków wodnych zalega zaledwie na głębokości 1.0 m p.p.t., co w perspektywie zamknięcia kopalni rud cynku i ołowiu „Pomorzany” może spowodować lokalne podtopienia.
