Active tectonics research using trenching technique on the south-eastern section of the Sudetic Marginal Fault (NE Bohemian Massif, central Europe)

The application of electrical resistivity tomography and gravimetric survey as useful tools in an active tectonics study of the Sudetic Marginal Fault (Bohemian Massif, central Europe)

“…These studies may comprise morphotectonic mapping, paleoseismological investigations such as trenching, or further geophysical surveying at a higher resolution (e.g. Anderson et al, 2003;Buddensiek et al, 2008;Caputo et al, 2004;Colella et al, 2004;Slater and Niemi, 2003;Štěpančíková et al, 2010;Vanneste et al, 2008). Our research represents a new case study and yields some new methodological aspects first, through the utilisation of detailed ERT measurement along the length of the trench floor (to some extent done also by Nguyen, 2005) and, second, through the simultaneous application of ERT and (micro) gravimetry.…”

“…It controls the mountain front of the Sudetic Mountains for a length of 130 km ( Fig. 1) (Badura et al, 2007;Štěpančíková et al, 2010).…”

Pleistocene speleothem fracturing in the foreland of the Western Carpathians: a case study from the seismically active eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif

“…The dis tinct to pog ra phy of the fault is related to its palaeoseismic ac tiv ity, with the mag ni tude of in divid ual palaeo earthquakes ex ceed ing M = 5 (cf. McCal pin, 2009;Štěpančíková et al, 2010). The pres ent-day seis mic ity in the NMZ is in di cated by nu mer ous small (max i mum M L » 3.8) events, the epi centres of which tend to be aligned with NW-SE trending re gional faults, the Nectava-Konice-Kvasice Fault sys tem (NKFS), Temenice Fault (TF), and Bělá Fault (BF) (Fig.…”

Application of the precision levelling method to evulate the vertical movements within eastern part of the Elbe fault system (SW Poland, western Sudetes)

“…in light of previous geological studies is impossible. Geomorphological analysis of the Nysa Kłodzka river terrace position (Przybylski, 1998;Krzyszkowski et al, 2000), the shape of a drainage basin of creeks crossing Sudetes, and triangular facets in morphotectonic Sudetic Marginal Fault suggest lifting movements (Badura et al, 2007;Štěpančíková et al, 2010 In the line Boboszów-Jaworek (class II) a subsidence has occurred (Fig. 5).…”
