Changes in the fluvial valley network at NW Šumava foothills
Hošek, Roman ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Borská, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the processes causing the changes of the river network. Among the most important processes are tectonics, landslides, headward and lateral erosion, anthropogenic activities, lithology of a stream bed, changes of the erosion base and climate, as a factor influencing the morphology of valleys. The information from the literature search is applied on finding potential valley network changes localities based on indicators of changes of the river network, which were analysed in the GIS environment. Each potential locality was chosen for a presence of an indicator, which may signify changes of the river network: sudden direction changes of a stream, wind gap, streams which flow through topographic barrier, captured stream. The main criterion for finding potential localities was elevation above the valley-floor interpolated surface, where low values indicate low water divide between valleys. These selected localities were compared with the position of the anomalies on the longitudinal profiles of the rivers. The longitudinal profiles with sudden changes of inclination (knickpoint) indicate possible changes of the river network. Key words: changes of the river network, headward erosion, lateral erosion, river piracy, landslides, tectonics, anthropogenic activities, Šumava...

Response of selected rivers of the Bohemian Massif to lithological and structural conditions
Flašar, Jan ; Nývlt, Daniel (advisor) ; Kalvoda, Jan (referee)
Three groups of streams were selected in the area of the Bohemian Massif: the Berounka river with its source streams; the Vltava river with its tributaries the Malše and the Lužnice; the Labe river with its tributaries the Cidlina, the Bystřice and the Javorka. The lithological and tectonical influences to several parameters of the streams were studied. These parameters include: stream gradient, orientation of the stream and sinuosity of the stream. Data were obtained from digital elevation models, aerial photographs, topographical and geological maps. The longitudinal profiles of the streams (in the combination with geological cross-sections), the SL indexes and the gradient/sinuosity graphs were created on the basis of the obtained data. These tools were used for evaluation of the influence of lithology and the tectonics to the streams. The evolution of the streams and the stream-groups was evaluated and compared as well. A strong influence of lithology on the stream gradient was found on most of the analysed streams. The tectonic situation, on the contrary, had strong influence on the orientation of the streams, especially in the resistant rocks. Also, there were selected areas, where was a higher probability of quaternary vertical movements influencing the streams (mountainous areas of the Novohradské...

Slope deformations in the Bohemian Paradise - research, typology and conditions of origin
Merlíčková, Soňa ; Hartvich, Filip (advisor) ; Blahůt, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with occurrence, conditions and character of slope deformations in the Protected landscape area (CHKO) Český ráj. This area is typically formed by sandstones, marls and claystones. Together with tectonic structures and lateral erosion of the Jizera River, they form suitable conditions for slope movements such as rockfall, sliding etc. With help extensive use of the scientific literature, character of study area as well as general conditions for the development of slope movements were described, and their typological classification was established. Next part of the thesis includes the chapters on the methods of research, and a description of the preliminary field research of the model localities. Furthermore, an analysis of causes of the slope movements using the data on climate from the stations of Czech hydro-meteorological institute was performed. Finally, the results are discussed with the referenced sources and conclusions to the topic are formulated. Keywords: CHKO Český ráj, slope movements, slope deformations, tectonics, lateral erosion, land-slide, rockfall, Lužický fault

GPS measurements at the Tetčice polygon
Darmopilová, Jana ; Švábenský, Otakar (referee) ; Pospíšil, Lubomil (advisor)
This thesis deals with periodical measurements at the Tetčice polygon to confirm geological activity caused by geological shift that pass through the center of the village. This work was focused on the third phase of measurement by long static GNSS observation in summer 2013 to monitor horizontal shifts on both edges of Boskovice furrow. Points are stabilized on pillars with forced centring. Part of the thesis is summary of present results, the differences between the various stages and graphical representations of shifts. The theoretical part deals with the geological conditions in the area and description of GNSS technology.

Mining activity at Pustina near the Míšovice village (Znojmo region)
Roštínský, Pavel ; Dokoupilová, P. ; Šmerda, J.
During the geomorphological mapping in the crystalline area of the Miroslav Horst, there were a small depression pit found out by P. Roštínský near the Míšovice village in the Znojmo region in the spring season 2006, leading to as yet unknown underground spaces. On the basis of detailed research in the wider surroundings of this pit and subsequent documentation of accessible underground galleries, it were determined that an old, as yet unrecognized mine were located on the western forested slope of the Pustina elevation. Some other entries to the underground realm, dikes and stepped terraces originated by removal of dig material and additional small pits were detected within the whole, more then one hectare-sized area. On grounds of analysed samples, there were a preliminary assumption pronounced that the underground galleries and surface landforms came to existence in connection to a prospection, especially to mining of graphite and iron ore.

New achievements in sedimentary geology of the western part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin
Uličný, David ; Laurin, Jiří
Since the Late Cenomanian time the shallow seaway of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin facilitated water-mass transfer across the nortehn part of the Bohemian massif. Marine currents flowing along the seawaz axis strongly influenced the deltaic deposition at basin margins. We interpret the narrowing of the seaway between the Czech and Saxonian parts of the basin as the main cause of vigorous tidal circulation. Acceleration of tidal currents in this region is reproduced also by numerical modelling of tidal circulation performed at the Imperial College (London) on the basis of our data.
