Prediction and monitoring of earthquakes and human-induced seismicity is still a crucial issue primarily due to the random nature of that phenomena. The continuous monitoring of earthquakes made by seismology is well known and developed. The remaining effects of earthquakes ? ground displacements, are much more problematic in measurement. Moreover, estimation of the scale and extend of ground movements caused by that phenomena often requires a combination of several measuring and analytical techniques. Currently, ...

Underground exploitation of mineral resources is often carried out in a watered rock mass. Dewatering of rock layers disturbs its geomechanical equilibrium, consequently resulting in deformations occurrence on the terrain surface. Furthermore, modeling of rock strata dewatering and related land subsidence is still a complex issue, mostly due to unambiguous qualitative and quantitative characteristics of rock mass. Presented research aimed at determination of dynamics of hydrogeological changes and land subsidence ...

The land subsidence caused by underground mining results in the transformation of water relations in the catchment. The purpose of the research is to determine the impact of the subsidence basin on changes in the water cycle. Detailed research was carried out in the city of Bytom, in the Karb district where one of the most spectacular subsidence basins on the Silesian Upland (southern Poland) emerged. As part of the study, the geological structure of the area was examined and a detailed geomorphological and hydrol...
