NEW RESEARCH RESULTS IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE SECTION OF THE ŁOSOSINA VALLEY (WIERNA RZEKA) HOLY CROSS MOUNTAINS, POLAND

Abstract

The study area is located in the Przedbórz-Małogoszcz Range, the natural extension of the Holy Cross Mountains to the west. The valley is filled with Pleistocene sands and gravels of the Vistulian glaciation as well as periglacial sands and river gravels. The youngest sediments on the studied section are the Holocene sands with mud deposits, on which organic silt and peat was formed [1]. In the valley floor relief is clearly marked by the different ages generations of paleomeanders. The GPR analyzes of the valley floor have shown a dense network of different ages palaeochannels that are more or less visible in the morphology. The results of geophysical analyzes allow for precise location of smaller palaeochannels not previously detected during the field reconnaissance and cartographic material query.
