The nature of the lower crust and the crust-mantle transition is fundamental to Earth sciences. Transformation of lower crustal rocks into eclogite facies is usually expected to result in lower crustal delamination. Here ...

Downhole microseismic monitoring is a widely used tool for the assessment of hydraulic fracturing job effectiveness. During the process of fluid injection into the reservoir, new fractures develop due to the induced ...

This publication contains basic information on geomagnetic observations carried out in 2019 in three Polish geophysical observatories: Belsk, Hel, and Hornsund. IAGA codes are respectively: BEL, HLP, and HRN. All these ...

The aim of the study was to identify the snow cover distribution in the southern Spitsbergen tundra environment and to quantify its relationship with the topography and land cover. This was achieved by correlating ...

This Monograph outlines the recent achievements of the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, focusing on the main strategic areas: Geosystem Processes, Earth Structure and Georesources, Anthropogenic and ...

Excavation damaged zone (EDZ) is a fractured rock mass in the vicinity of the roadway. Knowing its elastic properties, such as seismic velocity, is crucial for the safety of underground mining. However, the seismic wavefield's ...

This Monograph, the first one in a series of yearly outlines on the main achievements of the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, is a reviewed and edited version of the Annual Report 2018. It provides ...
