This paper considers potential changes in storm occurrence and intensity over the western Black Sea through analysis of long term series of wind and wave conditions simulated with relatively high resolution. It is a result of coupling of atmospheric and wave models and spans period of more than 60 years (1948-2008). On the basis of the established methodology of wave climate clustering, wave events capable of producing a noticeable morphological response are separated from the remaining part of the dataset. Furthe...

A review of extreme storm events along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast is of interest for wide spectrum of readers – oceanographers, meteorologists, engineers, economists, decision makers and stakeholders. Reasonable management of the coastal zone demands a reliable and timely forecasting of storm events and evaluation of the related potential damages and economical losses. This paper focuses on the heavy storm of February 1979. The aim of the study is reconstruction of all stages of the storm on the basis of avai...

The Middle and Upper Jurassic deposits develop on a large area in Dambovicioara Corridor. In this area belongs both to the “Group of the formations of Braşov” ([8], [9] redefined, emend [3]) and to the “Group of the formations of pre-Leaota” ([9], emend [3]). The group of Braşov covers strictly the area of D\^ambovicioara Basin, and the group of pre-Leaota was extended as well over the fosse Codlea-R\^aşnov-Podul D\^amboviţei and over Şinca-Piatra Craiului [3]. The facies of the two groups are differe...

The difficulty in reclamation of the North Bohemian Basin dumps consists in extremely severe properties of rocks in most of the dumps. It mainly concerns the rocks of the overlaying formation and the formation of brown coal seams. Sands, kaolinitic clayey sands and kaolinitic and illitic clays are the main materials bulk to the dumps. The admixtures of the bulk rocks consist of organic coal, siderite and pyrite. These rocks are mechanically unstable against wind and water erosion and they have obtained adverse, ac...
