This paper presents a new non-invasive technique of granulometric analysis based on the fusion two imaging techniques, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)-based photogrammetry and optical digital granulometry. newly proposed produces seamless coverage study site in order to analyze properties alluvium observe its spatiotemporal changes. is tested by observing changes along point bar mid-latitude mountain stream. UAV acquired at low-level flight altitude (at height 8 m) used acquire ultra-high...
Eastern Part of the Czech Republic in Outer Western Carpathians (OWC), particularly Javorníky Mts. range along Czech-Slovakian border, has been traditionally considered a geologically stable region with documented low contemporary seismic activity. However, recent geomorphological analyses and field investigations reveal compelling evidence prehistoric large-scale highly mobile mass movements, potentially triggered by paleo-earthquakes. This study integrates high-resolution LiDAR...
Abstract. The catastrophic landslide at Eisenberg in North Bohemia was reactivated during January 2011. This study integrates a range of geoscientific evidence order to constrain the spatial and temporal development this reactivation. It has investigated long-term geodetic measurements assess morphological site over last two decades. There is suggest that, period, had been subjected progressive deformation caused by collapse an old mine gallery. However, climatic data show that reactivation...
The internal structure of two partly eroded maar-diatreme volcanoes in the northern Czech Republic has been studied by combination ground magnetometry, gravity measurements and multi-electrode resistivity profiling.Hnojnice Rychnov maars were selected as described from surface geological survey representing different country rock settings.The Hnojnice diatreme penetrates thick sequence Upper Cretaceous marine sediments, whereas maar is situated within crystalline rocks.This research improved...
Abstract Although the Bohemian Forest is generally considered to be geomorphologically a rather stable region, there are localities which bear proof of surprisingly high intensity recent and even present day processes. A multidisciplinary methodology based on analysis slope systems was used for researching past dynamics two hillslopes. Using results direct dilatometric monitoring (the slow creep rock blocks reached maximum 1 mm year −1 ), GPS field mapping, sedimentology, geodetic...
Abstract. This paper describes a newly designed, experimental, and affordable rock slope monitoring system. system is being used to monitor three slopes in Czechia for period of up 2 years. The instrumented have different lithology (sandstone, limestone, granite), aspect, structural mechanical properties. Induction crackmeters the dynamic joints, which separate unstable blocks from face. setup works with repeatability measurements 0.05 mm. External destabilising factors (air temperature,...
The Čertovka landslide at Vaňov south of Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, is developed in a steep slope the Labe River Valley (LRV). A major episode landsliding occurred first months 1995, and has been subjected to geological geomorphological investigation since then. This paper presents structural setting based on latest survey, detailed mapping, morphostructural analysis results electrical resistivity tomography. was found be initiated boundary between Late Eocene Oligocene basaltic lavas...
