Wybrane zagadnienia z geologii złóż Dominikany – sprawozdanie z wyprawy naukowej PSGS

Jaworska J., Wachowiak J.

Przegląd Solny

2014

T. 10

139--149

Republika Dominikańska, położona między Morzem Karaibskim a Atlantykiem, słynie z kilku surowców – błękitnego larimaru (prowincja Barahona, w Los Chupaderos) i bursztynu (w rejonie El Valle) o niebieskawym zabarwieniu. Do niedawna była również liczącym się w tej części świata producentem soli kamiennej (okolice Las Salinas). Zapoznanie się z budową geologiczną i warunkami eksploatacji tych złóż było celem ekspedycji naukowej Polskiego Stowarzyszenia Górnictwa Solnego, która odbyła się w dniach 26.11-06.12 2013. W trakcie wyjazdu członkowie wyprawy mieli również możliwość poznania przyrody ożywionej (parki narodowe w okolicach Samany i Saony), nieożywionej (jaskinie), architektury i historii Republiki Dominikańskiej. Niezwykle cenne okazały się nawiązane kontakty z najwyższymi przedstawicielami ministerstwa gospodarki, energetyki i górnictwa.

The Dominican Republic, situated between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic, is well known for several raw materials: blue larimar (Los Chupaderos, Barahona Province) and bluish amber (El Valle area). Until recently, the country was also an important regional salt rock producer (Las Salinas areas). Exploration of the geological structures and learning the local mining conditions of those mineral deposits was the goal of the field trip organized by the Polish Salt Mining Association which took place from 26 November to 6 December 2013. During the trip, the participants also had an opportunity to observe nature (National Parks in the areas of Samana and Saona), geological formations (caves), and architecture, as well as learn the history of the Dominican Republic. Our contacts with high ranking representatives of the Ministries of Economy, Power Engineering, and Mining turned out to be extremely valuable for the attainment of our objectives.

Stanislaw Siedlecki was born on September 17, 1912 in Cracow. He studied physics and mathematics (1931/1932) at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and at the University of Warsaw - physics (1933/1934) and geology (1934-1939). At that time he participated in a number of Polish expeditions: in 1932-1933 - on Bear Island, in 1934 and 1936 - to Spitsbergen, in 1937 - to Greenland. During World War II, he worked as a geologist in the German Amt für Bodenforschung (1942-1943), in the Museum of Natural Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Letters in Cracow (1943-1944). In 1945-1950 he worked in the Department of Geology at the Jagiellonian University. Stanisław Siedlecki received his PhD in geological sciences from the Jagiellonian University in 1949 at. In 1950-1953 he worked at the Museum of the Earth, in 1953-1956 - at the Institute of Geological Sciences. In 1954 Siedlecki was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor. In 1956-1964 he worked in the Department of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He then organized several Polish expeditions to Spitsbergen as a part of the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958). In 1957, he supervised the building of the Polish Polar Station at Spitsbergen. In 1964-1966 he worked at the Norwegian Polar Institute in Oslo. He then carried out geological research on Svalbard. In 1965 Siedlecki was promoted to the rank of Full Professor. In 1966-1979 he worked at the Norwegian Geological Institute in Trondheim. In 1971 he became a citizen of Norway. On January 1, 1980 he decided to retire. He pub lished numerous academic dissertations and two books. In 1996, the king of Norway awarded him with the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit. Siedlecki was, among other, a mem ber of the Explorers Club in New York (USA) since 1980. He died on March 8, 2002. Stanislaw Siedlecki was the true founder of Polish polar exploration. In 2007, in recognition of his outstanding achievements, the Polish Polar Station on Spitsbergen was named after him.
