Abstract The present study aims to investigate the diversity index (dv-index) of morphotectonic and geomorphological land-forms as one of the scientific value indices for evaluation of the geotouristic potential of the southeastern Lut desert using topographic statistical analysis. Scientific index scoring in most models is based on descriptive assessment by geotourists and experts. Statistical analysis of the dv-index in the present study helps experts to base their scoring on scientific methods. The dv-index is controlled by several items. In the present study, we analyse two of these, including the classification of topographic continuity pattern (TCP) and topographic slope position correlation (TSPC). For this purpose, a network of section lines is used to analyse slope continuity. The TSPC analysis is performed by using two parameters of absolute value and slope position. Results for these two evaluated items indicate a score of 1.46 (out of 2) for the dv-index. Given a rating of 5, the score obtained for the two items is a high one. Therefore, an initial estimate of the dv-index indicates a significant scientific value of the study area.

Abstract Isolated bones of three taxa of marine reptiles (Mosasaurus hoffmannii Mantell, Plioplatecarpus marshi Dollo and Allopleuron hofmanni (Gray)) from various levels within the Maastricht Formation (upper Maastrichtian) at the former ENCI-HeidelbergCement Group quarry (Maastricht, the Netherlands) exhibit bioerosional traces and encrustation. Episkeletozoans include dimyid, ostreid and monopleurid bivalves, at least three species of cheilostome and cyclostome bryozoans and two adnate calcareous foraminifera. The bones show biting traces (Gnathichnus pentax Bromley, Linichnus cf. serratus Jacobsen & Bromley and Machichnus isp.), as well as borings. The latter may be referred to Karethraichnus lakkos Zonneveld, Bartels, Gunnell & McHugh, which is here considered to be a junior synonym of Gastrochaenolites isp.

tion of coastline changes form a significant obstacle during increased socio-economic pressure on coastal zones worldwide. Thus, definitions of steering factors, such as natural processes (including eustatic sea level rise, superimposed on isostatic subsidence), diversity of geological, hydrological and hydrodynamic conditions, vegetation and, finally, anthropogenic pressure should be considered as minimal input into modern studies of land/sea interactions. These natural processes and their interrelations that shape coasts are common in the case of epicontinental seas such as the Baltic Sea. The coastal zone of the southern Baltic, from Germany in the west to Latvia and Estonia in the east, in particular, is exposed to intense changes.

海岸线的变化是世界各地沿海地区社会经济压力增加的一个重大障碍。因此，指导因素的定义，如自然过程（包括海平面上升，叠加均衡沉降）、地质、水文和水动力条件的多样性、植被，以及最后的人为压力，应被视为对陆地/海洋相互作用现代研究的最低投入。这些形成海岸的自然过程及其相互关系在波罗的海等陆表海中很常见。波罗的海南部的沿海地区，特别是从西部的德国到东部的拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚，正面临着剧烈的变化。在过去的几十年里，出版了几本关于波罗的海国家海岸地貌的专著；然而，当前书籍可以被认为是添加到该列表中的新质量项目。这本大部头书的编辑是该领域公认的专家。Jan Harff教授是一位杰出的海洋地质学专家，其主要兴趣和科学成就与沉积学、海岸地质学和数学地质学有关。他对波罗的海海岸发展的古地理研究和数学建模做出了特殊贡献。他的研究和科学出版物广为人知，受到同行的赞赏。Kazimierz Furmańczyk教授的研究兴趣涉及海岸带的形态动力学，通过使用遥感方法进行研究。他是波兰海岸研究人员中的一员，其成就不仅在波兰，而且在世界各地都受到赞赏，许多科学著作都证明了这一点。Hans van Storch教授是一位德国气候科学家，他对近期和未来几十年的沿海气候和影响（风、风暴潮和波浪）感兴趣。他还是统计气候学系统问题的专家，如人为气候变化的探测和归因。此外，他多年来一直与社会和文化科学家进行联合研究。有了这样的编辑团队，这本书可以信赖地提供了该领域最可靠的数据。这本书本身分为两个部分：I——概念和模型方法，II——区域研究。在第一部分中，除了已经讨论了很长时间的重要话题（例如，J.Harff等人的“是什么决定了波罗的海海岸线的变化？”和S.Musielak等人的“在各种时间和空间尺度上形成波兰波罗的海南部海岸的因素和过程”），关于模拟未来沿海变化的两个问题值得特别关注。这些是海岸形态发生的模型和研究，包括几十年至几个世纪的地质过去的重建和对未来的预测，以及中长期气候控制下陆地/海洋相互作用的研究，特别是通过数值模型（“海岸地貌动力学重建和未来预测的动态平衡海岸模型”[由J.Deng等人]和Geologos 26，1（2020）:89-90 DOI:10.2478/logos-2020-0008

Abstract The present article focuses predominantly on sandy deposits that occur within the Middle Miocene lignite seam at the Tomisławice opencast mine, owned by the Konin Lignite Mine. As a result of mining activity, these siliciclastics were available for direct observation in 2015–2016. They are situated between two lignite benches over a distance of ~500 m in the lower part and ~200 m in the higher part of the exploitation levels. The maximum thickness of these sandy sediments, of a lenticular structure in a S–N cross section, is up to 1.8 m. With the exception of a thin lignite intercalation, these siliciclastics comprise mainly by fine-grained and well-sorted sands, and only their basal and top layers are enriched with silt particles and organic matter. Based on a detailed analysis of the sediments studied (i.e., their architecture and textural-structural features), I present a discussion of their genesis and then propose a model of their formation. These siliciclastics most likely formed during at least two flood events in the overbank area of a Middle Miocene meandering or anastomosing river. Following breaching of the natural river levee, the sandy particles (derived mainly from the main river channel and levees) were deposited on the mire (backswamp) surface in the form of crevasse splays. After each flooding event, vegetation developed on the top of these siliciclastics; hence, two crevasse-splay bodies (here referred to as the older and younger) came into existence. As a result, the first Mid-Polish lignite seam at the Tomisławice opencast mine is currently divided in two by relatively thick siliciclastics, which prevents a significant portion of this seam from being used for industrial purposes.

Abstract The Oligocene Lar igneous complex is located in the Sistan suture zone of Iran, being emplaced in Paleocene to Eocene flysch-type rocks. This complex includes mainly intermediate K-rich volcanic (trachyte, latite and andesite) and plutonic (syenite and monzonite) rocks that belong to shoshonitic magma. The geochemical characteristics of the Lar igneous complex, such as an enrichment of LREE and LILE relative to HREE and HFSE, respectively, a negative anomaly of Ti, Ba and Nb and a positive anomaly of Rb and Th are similar to those of arc-type igneous rocks. Tectonic discrimination diagrams also show that rocks of the Lar igneous complex fall within the arc-related and post-collisional fields and K-enrichment of these rocks confirm the post-collisional setting. Based on geochemical features, the Lar igneous complex magma was derived from partial melting of a phlogopite-bearing, enriched and metasomatised lithospheric mantle source and the magma was affected by some evolutionary processes like fractional crystallisation and crustal contamination.

Abstract Nature is never at a steady state. Natural history is generated by ever-new and ever-interacting forces that produce continuous changes. At virtually all timescales, the geological record shows that these changes do not cancel each other out and, thus, that the steady state is utopic. However, we need a state of equilibrium as a starting point for modelling Nature, and the steady-state condition is widely used as a reference in idealisations aimed at understanding natural processes. The present contribution is meant as an epistemological note of caution − from Earth scientists to Earth scientists − aimed at discouraging the use of theoretical models as true evidence instead of terms of comparison.

Abstract Knowledge of uncertainty in analytical results is of prime importance in assessments of compliance with requirements set out for the quality of water intended for human consumption. Assessments of drinking water quality can be performed using either a deterministic or a probabilistic method. In the former approach, every single result is referred directly to the parametric value, while in the probabilistic method uncertainty related to analytical results is taken into account during the decision-making process. In the present research, laboratory uncertainty and uncertainty determined on the basis of results of analyses of duplicate samples collected in two Polish cities were compared and used in the probabilistic approach of water quality assessment. Using the probabilistic method, more results were considered to be “above the parametric value”. Most excesses were observed when the maximum allowable uncertainty as set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of 7 December 2017 was used, which is due to the highest values of these uncertainties. The lowest values above parametric values in the probabilistic approach were observed when measurement uncertainty was considered.

Abstract A comparison of two methods of radiocarbon age determination of groundwater is presented. The simplest Pearson model and the “user-defined” option of the NETPATH program were considered. Both methods were used to determine the age of water from a PZ-2 piezometer that is situated in the foreground of chamber Z-32 in Wieliczka Salt Mine. Results of these calculations clearly demonstrate that 14C ages obtained by the Pearson model can be significantly overestimated in comparison with those determined by the NETPATH code. Without additional data, such as the stable isotope composition of the water, conclusions on the age of the groundwater based solely on the Pearson model may be highly inadequate.

Abstract The aim of the present study is to monitor changes in the location of the groundwater table in the catchment area of the River Gwda within the Quaternary and Neogene water-bearing level over a 35-year period, between 1981 and 2015. In addition, on account of very diverse total annual precipitation levels in particular parts of the catchment, attempts were made to determine the influence of precipitation on the location of the groundwater table. By correlating groundwater level and meteorological parameters (precipitation), it was discovered that precipitation in the previous year made the largest impact on the groundwater table. Moreover, low precipitation totals in the southern part of the catchment are not discernible in groundwater table fluctuations, which is linked to the location of the observation well within the drainage zone as well as to water ascension from deeper aquifers.

Moreover, low precipitation totals in the southern part of the catchment are not discernible in groundwater table fluctuations, which is linked to the location of the observation well within the drainage zone as well as to water ascension from deeper aquifers.","PeriodicalId":44833,"journal":{"name":"Geologos","volume":"25 1","pages":"193 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45936864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
