“…At the beginning of the 20th century, two lignite mines, called Buko and Olga, whose shafts reached a depth of 50 m, were established and started their operations. Between 1900 and 1910, the average annual production of lignite reached 10,000 tons [64]. The site is one of the few occurrences of lignite at shallow depths in northern Poland.…”

“…The exploitation of the deposits was terminated in 1939, at a depth of 80 m below ground level. A relatively low depth of lignite extraction, the method of conducting mining operations, as well as low levels of strength of overhanging rocks, contributes to the occurrence of sinkholes, in the form of ditches and craters reaching 3 m in depth, which are firmly established in the terrain relief (Figure 4) [64]. The site is currently developed as a "Mining Village", which, apart from visiting the shafts or examining mining equipment or interactive models, offers the organization of thematic events connected with the mining tradition of the site (Figure 5A-F).…”

Geoturist Evaluation of Geosites in the Tuchola Forest Biosphere Reserve (N Poland)

et al. 2022

The geotourist evaluation of 32 geosites, including mineral deposits occurrence (1), petrological (12), sedimentological (2), and geomorphological (9), as well as hydrological and hydrogeological (8) sites, located in the area of Tuchola Forest Biosphere Reserve (TFBR), has been carried out. The study aims to provide a qualitative assessment of geodiversity via the evaluation of abiotic nature objects, as well as propose modifications in geotourist valuation criteria, for the purpose of applying it to the areas located in the Central European Plains. The evaluated geosites represent both perfect examples of typical features for the physiography of the TFBR, as a young glacial landscape, e.g., erratic boulders, glaciofluvial landforms, postglacial landforms, and lakes or peatbogs, as well as values proving the uniqueness of the area on both regional and international scales, e.g., disused underground lignite mine “Montania”. High scores of geotourist attractiveness (between 36 and 44 points) have been received by 14 evaluated geosites (1 mineral deposits occurrence geosite, 4 petrological geosites, 1 sedimentological geosite, and 5 geomorphological geosites, as well as 3 hydrological and hydrogeological geosites). The remaining 18 geosites have received a medium score (between 25 and 34 points). Three areas of high concentration of geosites, which overlap with the boundaries of Tuchola, Wdecki, and Zaborski (area of the greatest diversity of highly-ranked geosites) landscape parks, were distinguished. The authors proposed geosites that require improving their accessibility to enhance the geotourist attractiveness, recognized the necessity of marking out geotourist trails in the most attractive and diversified areas, and noticed the influence of extreme weather phenomena (whirwinds) on changes in the geotourist attractiveness of some geosites. It is believed that the results of the conducted evaluation may favorably affect the importance, position, and publicity of the whole area by supplementing the well-recognized biodiversity with the geodiversity presented in the study.

“…Tidal gravimeters gPhoneX #155 (Rybnik) and #157 (Katowice) owned by GIG are mainly used to evaluate seismic tremors in mining areas caused by mining exploration (Kotyrba et al, 2020). Using gravimeters to such studies supplements research on understanding the effects of mining exploration, especially in terms of evaluation of tremor strength as a function of distance and magnitude.…”

The article presents the reviewed and summarised research activities of the Polish research groups on gravimetry and gravity field modelling in the period of 2019-2022. It contains the results of absolute gravity surveys for the maintenance of the international gravity reference level in Poland and Europe, and for geodynamic research with an emphasis on metrological aspects. It also contains relative gravimetry issues as well as the results of marine gravity surveys in the southern Baltic Sea. Non-tidal gravity changes were extensively investigated. Long-term gravity variations were monitored at the Borowa Gora Geodetic-Geophysical Observatory and in a few other locations in Poland. The contribution of gravimetric records to seismic studies was investigated. Temporal variations of the gravity field from GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) and GRACE-FO (GRACE Follow-On) data, in particular, deformations of the Earth's surface as well as temporal variations of heights, total water storage and groundwater storage were investigated. Moreover, GRACE-based products and the performance of monthly Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) were a subject of research. GGMs developed in last years were evaluated. The research on developing new approaches in geoid modelling and their validation was conducted. New regional and local geoid models were determined for Poland and Ethiopia. The use of different techniques for estimating the absolute sea level at sites of the selected network in the Baltic Sea was investigated.
