Morfologiczne skutki ulewy z 31 lipca 2010 r. w Czarnej Górze (Podhale)

Abstract

Morphological effects of downpour of July 31, 2010 in Czarna Góra (Podhale).A b s t r a c t. The article presents results of two-year study that included mapping of Czarna Góra (Podhale region, Carpathians), especially in local watercourses and dirt roads after the downpour of July 31, 2010. The field research shows that sudden morphological processes were induced as a result of intense rain (debris flow, which was triggered in a road cut and many shallow and small landslides in local stream valleys). The studypresents results of mapping new landforms after the downpour. Because no earlier landforms of similar origin have been found in this area, it can be concluded that the event had a unique character.
