Aspekty interpretacji obrazów pseudoimpedancji akustycznej ośrodka skalnego
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Figiel, Włodzimierz; Kawalec-Latała, Ewa
Safety and reliability of energy system are one of the most important issues in dynamic development of states and unions (EU). Rock salt deposits with homogeneous inner structure and horizontal or semi-horizontal layering may be excellent sites for localisation of underground hydrocarbon reservoirs. Calculations of seismic section inversion leads to approximation of distribution of acoustic impedance. Data of that acoustic impedance distribution are the basis for image generation and visual interpretation of rock formation structure. Detection of inhomogeneity of lithology-phacial structure of seam-like salt deposits may be recognised on the basis of proper image interpretation of acoustic pseudoimpedance section. In the paper, authors propose context and adaptive transformation of images as a way of increasing effectiveness of image interpretation simulated by INWERS system The paper introduces the algorithm of visual transformation and analysis of results to define quality of rock section structure interpretation. The paper presents the author's suggestion regarding necessity of setting up a gauge of used transformation on the images as a method to measure interpretation easiness of seismology section. The goal of the study is to develop applications of image transformation tools to inhomogeneity detection of lithology-phacial structure of seam-like salt deposits.

Budowa geologiczna i techniki eksploatacji złoża w wyrobiskach nowej trasy specjalistycznej w Kopalni Soli »Wieliczka«
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) d'Obyrn, Kajetan; Przybyło, Jerzy; Wiewiórka, Wiesław
Since centuries the Wieliczka Salt Mine has been open to visitors. Many-year collaboration with the Polish and world universities and research institutes, and also growing popularity of the active tourism, led to the opening of undergrounds excavation chambers off the existing regular tourist route. In spring of 2009 the decision about preparing the route for the specialists' groups was made. The route illustrates different methods of salt excavation with interesting exposures of the salt deposit geological structure. Finally, the new ca. 3400-m long route leads along levels I, II and III of the central and eastern part of the mine. The paper describes geological and mining aspects presented to visitors. It also explains the hydrological conditions and presents attractive locations of the halite re-crystallization sites.

Edukacyjna rola Kopalni Soli »Wieliczka« - wczoraj i dziś
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2013) d'Obyrn, Kajetan; Przybyło, Jerzy
During the past centuries, the educational character of the »Wieliczka« Salt Mine was gradually shaped. Only European elites were familiar with the issues of exploiting the Wieliczka salt deposits in the 16th and 17th centuries. After the First Partition of Poland, the Austrian managers of the Salt Mine began to arrange trails for mass tourism. After Poland regained independence, special bonds connected the Salt Mine with the Academy of Mining (presently called the AGH University of Science and Technology). At the end of the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century, the educational field trips were based on a network of documented sites and the nature reserve called the Crystal Grottoes. Since 2009, the trips follow the route called »The Mysteries of the Wieliczka Mine«. Apart from the AGH University of Science and Technology, classes were also organised for the students of the Jagiellonian University, Pedagogical University of Cracow, University of Wroclaw, Adam Mickiewicz University, University of Silesia, University of Warsaw, and Silesian University of Technology (2001-2012). Foreign students were coming from Kosice, Ostrava, Parma, or Vienna. Approximately 4,800 students participated in field trips and internships in the 'Wieliczka' Salt Mine between 2001 and 2012.

Efektywna pojemność komór magazynowych gazu w pokładowych złożach soli kamiennej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2010) Ślizowski, Jarosław; Serbin, Karolina; Wiśniewska, Monika
This paper presents the perspectives for gas storage in the Zechstein salt deposits in the Fore-Sudetic Monocline (nine areas) and in the Łeba elevation region (four areas). The parameters taken into account were: the thickness of the deposit, affecting the cavern volume and the depth of the deposit that affects the minimum and maximum storage pressures, hence volume of the gas that could be stored in the cavern. It has been found that large initial storage capacities, that can be obtained from deposits located deeper, decrease rapidly due to the convergence. The most favorable conditions for location of the storage caverns at the Fore-Sudetic Monocline occur in the Bytom Odrzański region. At the Leba elevation, the most favorable conditions occur in the Kosakowo region, where construction of the storage facility has been started. To summarize the results, the estimated storage capacities of the individual caverns located in the selected regions and the storage capacities per 1 km$^{2}$ of deposits surface are presented in the paper.

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.

Mioceńskie sole kamienne i potasowe zachodniej Ukrainy: Seminarium geologiczno-górnicze Polskiego Stowarzyszenia Górnictwa Solnego pt. Złoża soli na kresach wschodnich dawnej Rzeczpospolitej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Czapowski, Grzegorz; Poborska-Młynarska, Katarzyna; Bukowski, Krzysztof
In the end of May 2008 the Polish Salt Mining Society had organized the field seminar focused on development and exploitation of rock and potash salt deposits of the Miocene age, occurred in the Western Ukraine. Actually the exploitation of all salt deposits in the Western Ukraine was stopped in last several years because of complicated geological-hydrological conditions, intensive salt karst phenomena and extensive former salt excavation. It caused that although the former agreements the visiting of underground mine chambers and surface salt quarries (in Kałusz and Sołotwino structures the salts pierced up to the surface) was too danger and in the both visited deposits their geology and methods of salt exploitation were only reported by miners in the office.

Przewodnik geologiczny po specjalistycznej trasie w Kopalni Soli Wieliczka biegnącej na poziomach I - III
(Data obrony: 2011-07-14) Dąbroś, Krzysztof
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Increasing interest of specialised tourism caused that in 2009 in underground excavations of the Wieliczka Salt Mine geoturistic route called “The Mysteries of the ‘Wieliczka’ Salt Mine” was created. The route, marked out between 1st and 3rd level, covers central and eastern area of the mine. It reveals a number of geological exposures illustrating complicated inner structure of the “Wieliczka” deposit and shows various techniques of salt exploitation. General geological as well as hydrogeological deposit conditions with aspects of preservation of inanimate nature are presented in the paper. An integral part of the paper is a design of a geological guide. Its purpose is to describe exposures on the route which are the most interesting in a cognitive as well as scenic way and to pay attention to geological and mining aspects with which visitors can be acquainted.

Salt geology and mining traditions: Kalush and Stebnyk mines (Fore-Carpathian region, Ukraine)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Bukowski, Krzysztof; Czapowski, Grzegorz
Development of industrial underground salt mining in western Ukraine has started in the mid-19th century with the discovery of large potash-magnesium salt deposits in Kalush (1854) and Stebnyk (1901). Potash salts concentrations occur within the Miocene sedimentary complexes of Ukrainian Carpathian Foredeep (correlated with the successions observed in the Polish part of Carpathian Foredeep) as isolated lenses or compressed folded layers of varied extent. Thickness of exploited potash seams varies from 4 m up to 150 m and the main mineral is sylvine, accompanied also by carnallite, kainite and langbeinite. Both Kalush and Stebnyk mines, now closed, belong to the first places in the world, where exploitation of potash salts were realized. Their unique historical character, documenting the salt exploitation traditions in this region and evolution of mining techniques, ought to be widely advertised as the valid points of Ukrainian-Polish cross-border geotouristic route, named »Traces of large extinct mammals, earth wax, oil and salt«.

Zmienność wydajności i chemizmu wycieku WIII-9 jako element oceny zagrożenia wodnego w Kopalni Soli ,,Wieliczka''
(2009) Brudnik, Krzysztof; Przybyło, Jerzy; Winid, Bogumiła
WIII-9 leak is located on the third level of Wieliczka Salt Mine in the Koerber crosswise gallery in the area of „ash shelter” which was built during the Second World War or just after its finished. Slag from local boiler room was stored in this shelter by the use of three boreholes from the surface. Slag was carried and placed in the nearby chambers. In the area of boreholes droplet leakages were reported since 1969. In 1987 boreholes were liquidated. Leakage discharge was reduced but it still exists in amount of about 0,1 1/min. The inflow is intaken in two places. Changes of this leakage during the dozen years were analyzed on the basis of the qualitative observations (salinity and 504, Ca, Mg contest) and leakage discharge. It was speak about the main assumption of pouring boreholes insulation due to reducing a risk of this area excavation flooding. The main assumption of pouring boreholes insulation was discussed due to reducing the risk of flooding the excavation sites in this area.
