Analysis of the landslide area on the Odlezelské lake
Sachr, David ; Jerman, Jan (advisor) ; Roháč, Jakub (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of landslide areas in the vicinity of Odlezelské Lake, which is located in the western Limnic Permocarboniferous basin of the Žihel Basin. In this area, slope movements are not a frequent natural phenomenon. In the Czech Republic, this is the only slope deformation that has created a 'landslide lake' due to the damming of the Mladotický stream, which flows through this area. The geological conditions play a fundamental role here - the overlying strata consist mainly of arkosic sandstones, sandstones and siltstones. Layers of clay or claystone lie 20-30 metres below the ground surface and the average slope of the layers in the area is 10ř to the north-west, very close to the average slope in the landslides studied. An engineering geological analysis of the landslide areas in the area of Lake Odlezel was carried out. The area was depicted using LiDAR and DMR 5G in QGIS software and thus new morphological maps of the landslide areas were created. Data from the ČÚZK and 48 years old geomorphological maps, which were mapped by Prof. Janský, were used as a basis. Furthermore, a supplementary field survey was carried out, on the basis of which, in combination with LiDAR analysis, the contours of slope deformations of the previous authors were refined. Furthermore,...

Dendrochronological dating of catastrophic slope movements
Tumajer, Jan ; Treml, Václav (advisor) ; Burda, Jan (referee)
Mass-movements are one example of natural processes that can pose a serious risk for human beings and their possessions. Dendrochronology, a method capable of their reconstruction, can provide parameters of former events, which can be used for planning protective measures. The possibilities for the application of dendrochronological methods have been tested by means of meta-analysis of electronic and printed scientific articles and a case study focused on former avalanche activity in Schustler's avalanche path (Labský důl, Krkonoše Mts.). The main conclusion of the first one is the clear spatial disproportion of the recent dendrogeomorphological research activities - e.g. the dating of avalanches is typical for mountains of Montana (USA); the Alpine region (mainly Switzerland), on the other hand, absolutely dominates in the research of debris-flows. In the case study, the analysis of material with well-chosen indicators led to high accuracy results comparable with the results of scientific articles focused on avalanches, and made the identification of 14 years (in the period 1953-2007) with potential avalanche acitvity possible. Although methods of dendrogeomorphology are usually neglected in the research of avalanches in the Czech republic, their great potential for future applications is shown....

Influence of Climatic Factor for Landslides Formation
Olejár, Filip ; Novotný, Jan (advisor) ; Kudrna, Zdeněk (referee)
TITLE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC FACTOR FOR LANDSLIDES FORMATION ABSTRACT Slope movements are divided into several groups, either by speed, method of movement or by factors causing their formation. The climate conditions of different territories are one of the main reasons that significantly affect the formation of slope movements. The most important climate factor that causes slope movements is precipitation. However, the effect of freezing soil can also be included here because water in the soil changes its volume and after thawing changing geomechanical properties of the material. In this work, the impact of precipitation will be discussed as the most significant climatic factor that induces breaking of the slopes. Rainwater can either gradually infiltrate into the slope, or can infiltrate in the single event with a high amount of rainfall, until it reaches a critical stage during which the weight of watered zone together with pore pressure are being increased whereas the effective shear strength is being reduced. This causes subsequent disintegration of the slope and movement of material along the slip surface in case of sliding movements and along the native surface in case of debris flows. This work summarizes the available knowledge about the precipitation as a significant factor which affects the...
