“…1). The Sudetes belong to the belt of peri-Alpine Variscan orogens, rejuvenated in the Cenozoic through differential uplift and subsidence of rigid crustal blocks along numerous fault lines Reicherter et al 2008), and further modified by rock-controlled selective denudation (Placek and Migoń 2007). As a consequence, the contemporary Sudetes are a mosaic of mountain massifs, ridges, uplands and intramontane basins, with a great diversity of medium-size and minor landforms.…”

In the West Sudetes (SW Poland), volcanic activity of Oligocene and Miocene age has left a suite of landforms of considerable geomorphological interest. Besides being relevant to the subject of volcanology, they illustrate how volcanism influences interplays with landscape development in the long-term. Three main geomorphological themes are explored: structural geomorphology of ancient volcanic terrain, volcanic remnants as markers of long-term denudation and hillslope evolution under periglacial conditions of the Pleistocene. Volcanic geosites are used as a resource for geotourism and promotion of geoheritage has intensified recently, with the region branding itself as the 'Land of Extinct Volcanoes'. Ten localities are evaluated as geomorphosites of significant educational potential, taking into account geomorphological values, added values as well as physical accessibility and information supply. Successful interpretation remains a key challenge in further geotourism development, and several associated practical issues are pointed out such as choice of terminology, uncertainties in scientific understanding and stand-alone attractiveness of geoheritage.

Ero sional his tory of the Karkonosze Gran ite Mas sif -con straints from ad ja cent sed i men tary bas ins and thermochronologyThe long-term ero sional his tory of the Karkonosze Gran ite Mas sif is re vised and re con structed us ing dif fer ent sources of in for ma tion, includ ing the sed i men tary re cord of ad ja cent bas ins, pre vi ously pub lished low-tem per a ture thermochronological data and geomorphic features. Al though the ev i dence is still in com plete, this work has iden ti fied a num ber of in ter vals, of un equal du ra tion, char ac ter ized by dif fer ent de nu da tion re gimes and rates. Sev eral ma jor phases of rapid ex hu ma tion are in ferred -in the Perm ian and the Early Tri as sic as seen in the sed i men tary re cord, and in the Late Cre ta ceous as shown by both the thermochronological and sed i men tary re cords. Neotectonic up lift of the Karkonosze Mts. in the late Ce no zoic is not re corded in the thermochronological re cord and there is no ev i dence of any ac cel er ated de nu da tion close to the mas sif. Ap a tite fis sion track data show that >~3.6 km of rock must have been eroded since the Turonian, while the re sults of zir con (U-Th)/He anal y sis sug gest that in places ero sion of >~6 km of rock must have taken place. This picture dif fers from pre vi ous es ti mates of de nu da tion which sug gested that only 2-2.5 km has been eroded from the ax ial part of the Karkonosze dome since the ex po sure of gran ite batholith in the Perm ian.

“…Cenozoic intraplate deformation in Central Europe has been attributed to far-field stresses from the continent-continent collision in the Alps and Pyrenees and the opening of the Atlantic Ocean (Illies 1975;Ş engör et al 1978;Ziegler 1992;Reicherter et al 2008), and to effects of rising mantle plumes (Hoernle et al 1995;Goes et al 1999;Ritter et al 2001;Cloetingh et al 2005).…”

“…During the Late Eocene to Oligocene, ESE -WNW-directed extension led to the formation of the ECRS, which extends more than 1100 km from the North Sea to the western Mediterranean (Ahorner 1975;Illies 1975;Ziegler 1992;Reicherter et al 2008). It includes the Rhine and Rhône Valley Rift Systems, which are linked by the Burgundy and the eastern Paris Basin transfer zones with the grabens of the Massif Central.…”
