It was held under the auspices of INTERREG project 2005/041 （Elaboration of geoenvironmental assumptions for ＇Geopark Yotwings＇ in the cross-border Polish-Lithuanian area） and IUGS-ICSU project Application of geoscience for sustainable development of cross-border areas. The aims of the conference were： to promote better understanding of geological heritage in Northern Europe and to aim at an increasing level of awareness concerning geological knowledge and related problems in society; to promote best practice on such matters as inventory, on-site management, planning, development of geotourism etc.; to strengthen trans-boundary co-operation and promote initiatives in application of elements of the geological heritage in sustainable development. Over 45 people attended the conference from seven European countries.展开更多

Dimorphism has not been found in this population. Statistical analyses of material from the shallow epicratonic Polish basin and the relatively deep Vocontian basin （southeastern France） indicated two populations. Forms from the Polish basin are somewhat more inflated and smaller than forms from the Vocontian basin.展开更多

Several million tons of coal are burnt in Korba basin, central India to generate electricity with pouring fluorine and other elements into the environment. The water is contaminated with F- and other chemicals beyond the permissible limits. The contaminated water is consumed by the human and animals by excreting the balanced toxicants through the stool and urine. Several folds higher concentration of F- in urine (44 mg/L) and stool (266 mg/kg) samples of the cattle are observed. The prevalence of fluorosis diseases in cattle of the Korba basin is reported.展开更多

The largest underground iron ore mine from Roman times was discovered in the northern margin of the Holy Cross Mountains, near Nowa S upia. In the seventeenth century the intensive development of iron mining occurred in this area. The iron ore mines from the Cz stochowa-Wieluń area started in the fourteenth century. Several iron ore mines in both areas worked in the 20-ies and 30-ies of the twentieth century. Since the beginning of the 70's the ore mining has been under reduction in connection with the decision of liquidation of the iron ore mining industry in Poland. The stage of the mine closure finished in 1982, when last mines closed down in the Cz stochowa-Wieluń area.展开更多

In the present work, geochemistry of REE in the contaminated pond sediment of Ambagarh Chowki, cen-tral India is described. The concentration (n = 24) of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Th and U was ranged from 16 - 119, 41 - 163, 4.1 - 28, 16 - 99, 0.7 - 2.7, 3.2 - 18, 2.7 - 16, 0.4 - 2.3, 2.2 - 13, 0.4 - 2.4, 1.1 - 6.1, 0.2 - 0.8, 0.9 - 4.8, 0.13 - 0.70, 6 - 25 and 0.46 - 1.86 mg/kg with mean value of 42 ± 9, 89 ± 13, 9.4 ± 1.9, 34 ± 7, 1.2 ± 0.2, 6.3 ± 1.2, 5.4 ± 1.0, 0.8 ± 0.1, 4.2 ± 0.8, 0.8 ± 0.2, 2.0 ± 0.4, 0.3 ± 0.1, 1.6 ± 0.3, 0.24 ± 0.04, 11 ± 2 and 1.14 ± 0.13 mg/kg, respectively. The concen-tration ratio of ∑LREE/∑HREE, La/Y and Th/U are discussed. The spatial distribution and sources of the REE are described.展开更多
