“…These north-south striking tectonic features of the Vogtland-Leipzig zone (VLZ) (Fig. 4) are clearly traceable as photo lineations of satellite imasges (Grünthal et al 1985;Bankwitz et al 2003;Pohl et al 2006). At the southern edge, in the Vogtland region and immediate surroundings, seismicity occurs mainly in form of intensive earthquake swarms with events no larger than M w 4.7 within each individual swarm.…”

The basic seismic load parameters for the upcoming national design regulation for DIN EN 1998-1/NA result from the reassessment of the seismic hazard supported by the German Institution for Civil Engineering (DIBt). This 2016 version of the national seismic hazard assessment for Germany is based on a comprehensive involvement of all accessible uncertainties in models and parameters and includes the provision of a rational framework for integrating ranges of epistemic uncertainties and aleatory variabilities in a comprehensive and transparent way. The developed seismic hazard model incorporates significant improvements over previous versions. It is based on updated and extended databases, it includes robust methods to evolve sets of models representing epistemic uncertainties, and a selection of the latest generation of ground motion prediction equations. The new earthquake model is presented here, which consists of a logic tree with 4040 end branches and essential innovations employed for a realistic approach. The output specifications were designed according to the user oriented needs as suggested by two review teams supervising the entire project. Seismic load parameters, for rock conditions of v S30 = 800 m/s, are calculated for three hazard levels (10, 5 and 2% probability of occurrence or exceedance within 50 years) and delivered in the form of uniform hazard spectra, within the spectral period range 0.02-3 s, and seismic hazard maps for peak

“…However, the limitation of habitats which could satisfy ecophysiological needs of the alga and the affiliation to certain type of habitats could play even more important driving factor of the distribution of G. phlegrea. Soos Nature Reserve is a unique place situated in seismic center of the Cheb Basin where magma moves towards the earth's surface (BaNkwitz et al 2003). The Reserve consits of peat bogs, mineral salt marshes and springs with huge concentrations of different mineral salts.…”

Burning coal spoil heaps as a new habitat for the extremophilic red alga Galdieria sulphuraria

Galdieria sulphuraria (Cyanidiales) is a worldwide acclaimed thermoacidophilic red microalga with a limited distribution due to special conditions required for growth and metabolism. Until now, the alga was almost exclusively restricted to acid geothermal environments around the world. However, we have found this species on the surface of a burning coal spoil heap in central Europe. It is the first record of G. sulphuraria in this type of habitat. A rbcL phylogeny confirmed that the population of this extremophile belongs to the continental European lineage and we consider Italian geothermal sites as a potential source of Czech G. sulphuraria. The dispersal of unicellular red microalgae is far from fully understood and the discovery of Galdieria in another region of Europe on a relatively newly established anthropogenic site allows us to understand better the distribution patterns and dispersal abilities of this ecologically important algal group. In addition, we have also analyzed the phylogenetic position of Galdieria strain CCALA 965 isolated from a highly acidic site without geothermal activity in the Czech Republic and confirmed it to belong to the species G. phlegrea, until now known only from Italy.

“…Most authors relate this seismic activity to the upper-crustal structures, to intersecting crustal faults (e.g., Bankwitz et al, 2003) and the regional stress field. However, recent investigations of fluids of mantle origin (e.g., Bräuer et al, 2005;Geissler et al, 2005) showed a possible link between the upper mantle and the earthquake swarm activity.…”

“…The Tertiary Eger (Ohře) Rift (ER), a 300 km long ENE-WSW striking structure characterized by high heat flow and Cenozoic volcanism is part of the European Cenozoic Rift System (ECRIS; Prodehl et al, 1995) and its formation is thought to be related to Alpine collision (Ziegler, 1992; see also review of the ER development in Geissler et al, 2005). Active tectonics is primarily manifested by frequent weak to moderate earthquake swarms (Horálek et al, 2000), emanations of CO 2 dominated gases of mantle origin (Weinlich et al 1999;Bräuer et al, 2003), and by neotectonic crustal movements (Bankwitz et al, 2003). The post-rift uplift of the Krušné hory Mts.…”
