The authors have undertaken the development of DEM based on the archived materials from the time when the area of present Sulejów Lake was not an artificial water reservoir. The source materials used were Area Map of Administrative Districts in the scale of 1:25,000 from 1961 and a 1:1,000 documental map attached to the study Sulejowski Reservoir-study of sedimentation and updating of depth. The effect of this work was the creation of a Digital Geomorphological Model of the area that presently does not exist. In the second stage of works a bottom model of Sulejów Lake was made based on data gathered during echo sounding research conducted in 2008 by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, which comprises 36 profiles. Both models were then compared with tools available in the ArcGis program by ESRI. The analysis revealed differences resulting from processes that occurred during the construction and 40 years of existence of the reservoir.

The aim of the presented research was to examine the concentration of biogenic compounds and heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Sulejów Reservoir (Central Poland) from October 2018. Based on the obtained research results, maps of the spatial distribution were prepared. The following parameters were analyzed: total phosphorus (TP), total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total organic carbon (TOC), ratio of total organic carbon to nitrogen (C:N), organic matter content as well as Cd, Cr and Pb concentrations. The sediments were collected at 28 sampling sites, covering the whole area of the reservoir. The differences in the content of individual biogenic compounds result from the composition of the debris applied by the supplying rivers, as well as the content of this elements in the water, long retention time (40 days) and depth from which the tested sediments were taken. The distribution of examined compounds was largely influenced by the agricultural activity in the studied area, as well as the presence of ports and recreational points. Based on the measurements, the highest amounts of biogenic components deposit in sediments of deep parts in slow-flowing waters, in stagnation zones, areas adjacent to arable land, and the sites where fine-size fractions prevail in the deposited material. Biogenic compounds in sediments of the Sulejów Reservoir showed a pattern of gradual increase along the reservoir from lower values in the back-water part. A similar relationship is visible for heavy metals. Referring to the ecotoxicological criteria, it can be stated that bottom sediments from the Sulejów Reservoir collected in 2018 are not toxicologically contaminated in terms of cadmium, lead and chromium content.

The article is an attempt to present the attractiveness of the recreational area of Łagiewnicki Forest in Łódź as regards the diversity of its relief. The work is based on an analysis of digital elevation models, using GIS techniques and direct observations. Based on an analysis of the relief, the authors have proposed a new tourism trail focused on the ‘morphometric assets’ of the area.

Zarys treści:W latach 2012-2015 autorzy zebrali nowe dane geomorfologiczne i geologiczne na pograniczu Wysoczyzn Kaliskiej i Tureckiej, które pozwalają na uzupełnienie wiedzy na temat genezy i wieku form rzeźby. Ustalono, że większość glacigenicznych form wypukłych, tworzących tzw. strefę kaliską, powstała w brzeżnym pasie lądolodu zlodowacenia warty o kilkukilometrowej szerokości. Prawdopodobnie był to rezultat krótkotrwałego uaktywnienia lądolodu i szybkiej deglacjacji w pomaksymalnym epizodzie zlodowacenia warty, który nazwano w tym regionie subfazą bzury. Autorzy odrzucają jednocześnie możliwość transgresji na ten obszar lądolodu fazy leszczyńskiej zlodowacenia wisły. Stwierdzono, że na przebieg procesów glacjalnych miały wpływ cechy morfologiczne, litologiczne i dynamika podłoża, w tym nawet wstrząsy sejsmiczne. Strukturę analizowanych form tworzą głównie osady stożków napływowych i glacifluwialnych rzek roztokowych. Część osadów objęta jest deformacjami o różnym zasięgu -w największym stopniu zaburzeniami tektoniki glacjalnej sensu lato. W strefie przypowierzchniowej występują także zaburzenia paraglacjalne i peryglacjalne o lokalnym zasięgu. Struktura większości form wypukłych jest charakterystyczna dla kemów glacifluwialnych diapirowych. Formy największe mają zwykle budowę złożoną zarówno pod względem litofacjalnym, jak i wiekowym, a jednoznaczne przyporządkowanie im wąskiej kategorii genetycznej (np. kem diapirowy, morena spiętrzenia, morena martwego lodu) może być nadmiernym uproszczeniem. Abstract:In the years 2012-2015, the authors collected new geomorphological and geological data on the borderline between the Kalisz and the Turek Upland Plains, which allow to make the understanding of the origin and age of the landscape forms more complete. It was established that most convex glacigenic forms which constitute the so called Kalisz zone originated in the several-kilometre-wide edge belt of the Wartanian ice sheet. It was probably the result of a short-term activation of the ice-sheet and rapid deglaciation in the post-maximal episode of the Wartanian glaciation, which was called the Bzura sub-phase in this region. At the same time, the authors reject the possibility of transgression to this area of the Leszno phase ice sheet of the Vistulian glaciation. It was found that the course of glacial processes was influenced by morphological and lithological features as well as the dynamics of the bedrock, including seismic shocks. The structure of the analysed forms consists mainly of sediments of alluvial fans and glacifluvial braided rivers. Some sediments are deformed -in the largest degree by glacial tectonic disturbances sensu lato. In the near-surface zone, local paraglacial and periglacial disturbances also occur. The structure of most convex forms is characteristic of diapiric glacifluvial kames. The largest forms are usually complex both in terms of age and lithofacial features, and assigning them explicitly with a narrow genetic category (e.g. diapiric kame, push moraine or dead-ice moraine) may b...
