Współczesny transport i sedymentacja żwirów w dolinie Dunajca

Abstract

Recent transport and sedimentation of gravels in the Dunajec valley (western Carpathians)

Variation in petrographic composition of gravel in the Dunajec River, as well as size, roundness and sphericity variation of granite pebbles are the subject of the present paper. The size and shape control of pebble orientation is described with a discussion on the mechanism of transport and deposition. The possibility of determining transport direction and estimating its, length is also presented.
