Study of present-day geodynamic processes in the area of Hronov-Poříčí Fault Zone
Stejskal, Vladimír ; Vilímek, Vít (advisor) ; Stemberk, Josef (referee) ; Kirchner, Karel (referee)
The presented PhD thesis deals with present-day geodynamic processes in the south- western part of Broumov Highland, with a special attention paid to the seismoactive Hronov- Poříčí Fault Zone (HPFZ). Compared to the rest of the Bohemian Massif the studied area exhibits relatively increased level of tectonic activity, which is evidenced by local seismicity and by presence of CO2-rich mineral waters. The present-day activity of geodynamic processes is studied by means of various geomorphological, geotechnical, geophysical and hydrological methods. Following processes and features were studied: activity of slope movements, seismic activity, present-day tectonic movements, relations between landforms and joint and fault tectonics. Based on the previous experience obtained by the author in the seismoactive area of Western Bohemia, groundwater observational network was set up in deep boreholes, in order to detect anomalies related to the tectonic activity of the studied area. The thesis represents a contribution to the deeper understanding of the studied area and also a contribution in respect of possible applications of some new methods that can be used in research of zones with relatively increased tectonic activity inside of stable areas of Central Europe. From geomorphological point of view, the...
