Late Cenozoic response of the selected fluvial systems of the Bohemian Massif to tectonics.
Flašar, Jan ; Martínek, Karel (advisor) ; Pánek, Tomáš (referee) ; Moreiras, Stella Maris (referee)
Despite its intraplate tectonic setting, the Bohemian Massif underwent relatively intense tectonic activity during the Cenozoic. This activity has significantly formed the terrain morphology and river geometry, which can easily be observed from the present status of the streams and relief. Although the effect of tectonics and climate on the terrain morphology has been already researched in previous studies, the effect on the geometry of the river systems has not been surveyed complexly. The author's previous master thesis found two remarkable areas within the Bohemian Massif, where the effect of climate and tectonics on the river system geometry and its changes is very probable - the area of western Bohemia along the Mariánské Lázně Fault and the area of the Novohradské hory Mountains and their foothills. The focus of this thesis is to study the mutual interactions between the tectonic activity and the geometry of selected river systems in the Bohemian Massif. The goal is not only to prove the connection but also to test and evaluate the set of methods that can be useful for localizing those places with recent tectonic activity and which can be applied in similar areas in the future. Both areas - along the Mariánské Lázně Fault and in the Novohradské hory Mts. and their foothills - were surveyed by...
