Over time, municipal waste landfills tend to go higher and become larger. The stability of the municipal landfill slope is one of the basic geotechnical tasks. This task ensures continuous waste deposition on the landfill surface and safety in its surroundings. With the increasing height and volume of the landfill, it is difficult to estimate the available area of the municipal landfill, where more waste can be safely deposited due to a number of variable factors, such as the geotechnical conditions of the municipal landfill, the morphological composition, age, and degree of compaction and decomposition of the deposited waste. This paper presents an attempt to determine the available area of a landfill where municipal waste can be safely deposited for further operation. For this purpose, a numerical slope stability analysis was carried out using the finite difference method code FLAC3D, presenting the actual geomechanical conditions of a landfill located in southern Poland. Based on the numerical results, options for municipal waste storage were presented and discussed. The proposed design chart aims to help landfill owners/managers make an adequate decision in terms of landfill planning and design.

Na obszarze Polski wyróżniono 48 basenów sedymentacyjnych obejmujących utwory od ediakaru po pliocen. Opierając się głównie na dostępnych opracowaniach publikowanych, w tym kartograficznych, określono granice basenów, stosując oprogramowanie ArcGIS, a także zestawiono krótkie opisy poszczególnych jednostek. W opisach zarysowano ich zasadnicze cechy: plan strukturalny, wiek wypełnienia osadowego i jego charakterystykę, powierzchnię wychodni, zasięg regionalny na tle elementów tektoniki i paleogeografii oraz genezę. Baseny zaliczono do czterech ogólnych kategorii regionalnych: epikontynentalne (24), włączone w górotwór (14), śródgórskie (4) i związane z terranami (6). Większość opisanych jednostek (32) należy do basenów wychodzących poza granice Polski. Powierzchnia wychodni basenów (w granicach kraju) mieści się w szerokim zakresie: od 11 km2 (basen zgorzelecki) do 284 761 km2 (mezozoiczny basen Niżu Polskiego), przy średnim obszarze 27 290 km2. Nieliczne baseny (w zależności od interpretacji podłoża: 9–15) są rozwinięte bezpośrednio na fundamencie krystalicznym, znaczna większość została nałożona na jednostki powstałe wcześniej, nierzadko w wyniku reaktywacji dawniejszych ram tektonicznych. Głównie na podstawie prac publikowanych przedstawiono zarys genezy poszczególnych basenów, a także wstępnie zaliczono je do ośmiu kategorii genetycznych: obrzeże pasywne, pasmo fałdowo-nasuwcze, basen: przedgórski, przedłukowy, pull-apart, śródkratoniczny, ryftowy i załukowy. Baseny poligenetyczne, o wieloetapowej historii rozwoju, zaliczono do kategorii odnoszącej się do etapu inicjacji basenu. Luki w rozpoznaniu niektórych opisanych basenów sprawiają, że w miarę dopływu nowych materiałów badawczych może ulec zmianie ich definicja, ewentualnie nastąpi ich wewnętrzny podział regionalny lub stratygraficzny, czy też połączenie z sąsiednimi jednostkami.

The catalogue provides description of 48 sedimentary basins from the territory of Poland, comprising deposits from Ediacaran to Pliocene. Basin boundaries in the Arc GIS format, as well as short descriptions of particular units, have been based mainly on published data, including cartographic materials. Descriptions include essential characteristics such as: structural plan, age and general features of a sedimentary fill, regional extent against tectonic and paleogeographic boundaries, and brief genetic considerations. The basins were ascribed to four general regional categories: epicontinental (24 units), incorporated in an orogen (14), intramontane (4), and associated with allochthonous terranes (6). The basin area, defined here as the present area of outcrops or subcrops, ranges from 11 km2 (Zgorzelec Basin) to 284,761 km2 (Mesozoic Basin of the Polish Lowlands), with a mean of 27,290 km2. Most of the described units (32) extend beyond the Polish territory into surrounding countries. Some basins (depending on the basement interpretation: 9-15) are developed directly on a crystalline basement. Majority of basins onlap earlier units, commonly due to reactivation of the pre-existing tectonic framework. A brief review of mechanisms that led to basin formation allowed the authors to ascribe the units to eight genetic categories: passive margin, fold-and-thrust belt, foreland, fore-arc, pull-apart, intracratonic, rift, and back-arc basins. In several instances of polygenetic (polyhistory) basins they were included to a category corresponding to the initial stage of basin development. The present study pinpoints some gaps in our knowledge of particular basins. Once filled, they may lead to changes in basin concepts and definitions, and also to their further subdivision or, conversely, unification.

Purpose: The purpose of the analysis is to demonstrate the potential impact of the shortcomings of public statistics collections in the field of application of demographic data to regional and local development planning. Design/methodology/approach: Taking into account the importance of human capital for the development of modern economies, acquiring information that reflects the demographic reality seems to constitute one of the crucial aspects determining the quality of planning the development of territorial units. The use of indicators relating to the outdated number or structure of the population in the process of diagnosing the baseline situation may lead to incorrect determination of the competitive position of territorial units and to defining development objectives that are an inadequate match to real challenges and needs of the respective territorial unit. This results in the requirement to correct the data on the number of people available in official statistics with data on unregistered emigration or the use of alternative data sets, such as the social insurance records. Findings: The use of this type of data within the framework of the conducted analysis rendered it possible to identify that the difference between the number of people, as determined on the basis of official registers, and the corrected population status, reaches 2.7-2.9 million people nationwide. Taking this fact into account causes effects in the form of an increase in the value of GDP per capita, both at the nationwide, and at regional scale. Originality/value: Therefore, it can quite clearly change the assessment of their economic potential, putting them in a more advantageous competitive position compared to other EU regions or member states. Consequently, it creates a different starting point for both defining regional or local development objectives and planning public intervention in line with the theory of change.

Field magnetic susceptibility (MS) and gamma ray spectrometry (GRS) measurements were performed in the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary interval in the Tré Maroua section (SE France). The 24 m thick section covers the interval from the upper Tithonian magnetozone M20n (Chitinoidella Zone) to the lower Berriasian M17r magnetozone (Calpionella elliptica Subzone). The micritic limestones reveal a very low content of terrigenous impurities (0.0-0.2% K and 0.2-2.0 ppm Th) and low MS values (-5 to 15 × 10-6 SI). Despite low intensity of both MS and GRS signal, a consistent trend of terrigenous input is observed: decreasing values in the upper Tithonian and increasing tendency in the upper part of the lower Berriasian. The long-term trends are quite similar to those documented in some Western Tethyan sections and the Polish Basin, indicating that variations of terrigenous input might be controlled by large-scale palaeoclimatic variations and relative sea-level changes. Decrease of Conusphaera and increase of Nannoconus frequencies fall in the lower part of M19n2n in the uppermost Tithonian. These events correlate with large decrease of terrigenous input and widespread oligotrophication in the Western Tethyan domain.

Herein are presented the results of detailed bio - (calcareous dinocysts, calpionellids, foraminifers, saccocomids) and chemostratigraphic (δ13C) studies combined with high-resolution microfacies, rock magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) investigations performed on the upper Kimmeridgian-upper Valanginian carbonates of the Giewont succession (Tatricum, Giewont and Mały Giewont sections, Western Tatra Mountains, Poland). The interval studied covers the contact between the Raptawicka Turnia Limestone (RTL) Fm. and the Wysoka Turnia Limestone (WTL) Fm. Their sedimentary sequence is composed of micrites, pseudonodular limestones, cyanoid packstones, lithoclastic packstone and encrinites. A precise correlation with the previously published Mały Giewont section is ensured by biostratigraphy, rock magnetic and GRS logs. The methodology adopted has enabled the recognition of two stratigraphic discontinuities, approximated here as corresponding to the latest Tithonian-early (late?) Berriasian and the early Valanginian. The hiatuses are evidenced by biostratigraphic data and the microfacies succession as well as by perturbations in isotopic compositions and rock magnetic logs; they are thought to result from a conjunction of tectonic activity and eustatic changes. A modified lithostratigraphic scheme for the Giewont and the Osobita High-Tatric successions is proposed. The top of the RTL Fm. falls in the upper Tithonian, where cyanoid packstones disappear. At the base of the WTL Fm. a new Giewont Member is defined as consisting of a basal lithoclastic packstone and following encrinites.
