Fault tectonics of the selected areas of the South Bohemian Moldanubicum
Paulusová, Barbora ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Stemberk, Jakub (referee)
The master thesis focuses on the identification of the traces of active tectonics and their influence on the current relief. The study area is situated in the South-Bohemian Moldanubicum, the core area of the Bohemian massif. Two partial areas of interest were chosen for the detailed analyses, the Lhenice fault zone and Kaplice furrow, aiming to assess their tectonic activity. The introductory part concisely presents the geological and tectonic development of Moldanubicum, providing essential context, along with a summary of the research methods, suitable for the research of tectonic imprint in the relief. Digital data were utilized to perform various analyses in both areas of interest. Morpholineaments, thalwegs, and faults were measured and geophysical and seismic data were analyzed. Morphometric parameters were also calculated to assess the level of activity. Through analysis of tectonic joints, the influence of tectonics on the relief was thoroughly discussed. Geophysical measurements (using electrical resistivity tomography) confirmed the existence and course of faults. Additionaly, the areas of tectonic influence and active tectonic areas were identified. Notably, active faults were delineated, and possibly unknown faults were identified within the active regions. Finally, the conclusions...

Structural tectonic and morphometric characteristics of the Upper Otava river basin
Burkytová, Šárka ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Stemberk, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the structural-geomorphological characteristics and morphometric analysis of the Upper Otava River basin, located in the Šumava Mountains. The introductory part is focused on the literature search, in which the area of interest is evaluated in terms of physical-geographical characteristics. The review also deals with an overview of methods of structural geomorphological research with a focus on morphostructural analysis of relief. The structural-geomorphological characterization was established by means of a joint analysis of selected sites where the direction of the joint surfaces and their slope were measured. A morpholineament analysis and fault tectonics analysis were also done to define the morphostructures. The individual morphostructures were evaluated using morphometric analysis methods and compared using morphostructure synthesis in terms of their similarities or differences. Finally, the geomorphological evolution in the area of interest was outlined. Keywords Morphostructural analysis, structural measurements, Šumava mountains, morphometry, morpholineaments

Valley evolution of the Kladská Bělá river
Stemberk, Jakub
The PhD. thesis deals with the morphostructural evolution of the valley network of the Biala Lądecka river, (further refer as BL) during the Late Cenozoic. In this work, the selected methods as geomorphological research (morphostructural analysis, geomorphological mapping), structural-geological research (paleostres analysis) and geophysical survey on selected sites were used, to answer the questions of river basin development and its relationship with predicted tectonic activity within the area, as well as with anticipated or already known paleohydrographic changes. The BL basin is situated within the Rychlebské hory Mts. / Góry Złote (northern and eastern parts of the basin), Králický Sněžník (southern part) and the Krowiarki Mts. (western part) in Poland. The Marginal Sudetic fault zone, which represents one of the most important tectonic zones in the Central Europe, passes in vicinity of the study area as well as the regionally important Bělský fault, which passes directly through the BL basin. The results of the analysis indicate that the BL basin has undergone very complex development due to tectonic movements since Miocene up-to-day. Based on the results of the paleostress analysis, which was performed on the dated volcanites in Lutynia - Lądek Zdrój area, the parameters of the palaostress...

Valley evolution of the Biala Lądecka drainage network during late Cenozoic, Lower Silesia, Poland
Stemberk, Jakub ; Štěpančíková, Petra ; Tábořík, Petr ; Coubal, Miroslav
Biala Lądecka (Biala Kłodzka) river is located in Lower Silesia (Poland) and its valley separates Góry Złote Mts.\n(Rychlebské hory Mts.) on the NE from Góry Bialskie Mts. on the SW. We conducted geomorphic investigations on the Biala\nLądecka river basin, in order to determine if Quarternary tectonic activity at the Bělský fault (or near Marginal Sudetic fault) is\ncontributing to the river’s asymmetry. Our research was focused on analysis of selected landforms, DEM parameters,\nmorphometric indexes and their spatial distribution which could potentially indicate recent tectonic activity in the area. At\nselected places geophysical measures were used to discover proper location and structure of Bělský fault or presence of\nsuggested morpholineaments. Preliminary results suggest a Quaternary tectonic activity for the Bělský fault. Moreover we tried\nto clarify nowadays stress regime in study area based striae measurement on fault planes and precise monitoring of selected\nfaults using TM-71 device.

Late Quaternary activity of slow-slip intraplate Mariánské Lázně fault as revealed by trenching and shallow geophysical survey; Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic, central Europe)
Štěpančíková, Petra ; Fischer, T. ; Hartvich, Filip ; Tábořík, Petr ; Rockwell, T. ; Stemberk, Jakub ; Široký, J. ; Sana, Hamid
The NNW-SSE trending Mariánské Lázně Fault (MLF) zone is situated in the western part of the Bohemian Massif (Czech\nRepublic, central Europe) where it intersects NE-trending Cenozoic Eger rift. The northern segment of the MLF controls the\nmorphologically pronounced mountain front of Krušné hory Mts. and eastern limit of Cenozoic Cheb basin, which is famous for\nearthquake swarms (max. ML=4.6) and CO2 emanation. We performed 2D and 3D geophysical survey (electric resistivity\ntomography, ground penetration radar) and 3D trenching to look for large surface-rupturing prehistoric earthquake responsible\nfor pronounced moutain range front. Seven excavated and six hand-dug trenches revealed a complex geology and deformation\nat the study site probably as a result of right-lateral transpression during Late Quaternary. Two Holocene earthquakes 1150-590\nBC and 780-1000 AD were inferred from 14C dating of faulted Holocene colluvium with corresponding magnitudes Mw=6.7-7.0.\nThe latter one is the youngest documented surface-rupturing event in central Europe.\n

Morphostructural analysis of the Hřibovská hornatina
Stemberk, Jakub ; Štěpančíková, Petra (advisor) ; Roštínský, Pavel (referee)
Morphostructural analysis of the Hřibovská hornatina Mts. This work deals with morphostructure analyses of the Hřibovská hornatina Mts., part of the Rychlebské hory Mts. Northeastern border of the studied area is created by the mountain front slope controlled by the Sudetic Marginal fault, which is one of the most conspicuous tectonic structures in central Europe. This is the main reason why works were focused on the analyses of stream network parameters and spatial distribution of those selected landforms which could potentially indicate recent tectonic activity in the studied area. As a result, supposed courses of faults marked in morphology were suggested. Fault activity assessment was considered on changes in erosion intensity indicated in longitudinal and crosswise profiles of stream valleys. Based on the values of Stream-Length index the areas with recent tectonic activity were delimited. The final output of this work is the morphostructure map of the Hřibovská hornatina Mts. and the adjacent area. Key words: Morphostructural analysis, active tectonics, Sudetic Marginal Fault, Hřibovská hornatina Mts.
