Abstract

Sadowa Góra quarry in Jaworzno – future under the sign of GEOsphere!A b s t r a c t. Due to initiative of both theGeological administration at Jaworzno's City hall as well as Polish Geological Institute-NRI Upper Silesian Branch, a project on the Sadowa Góra Eco-Geological Educational Centre facility has been realized. The project has been supported financially by the EU and its European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Operational Programme for the Silesian University and done in 2007–2013. The implementation of the programme was divided into two parts. The primary one concentrated on the comprehensive technical and educational exploitation of the old Sadowa Góra quarry. The secondary one consisted of plans to build an educational and museum-like facility. The educational centre is planned as a focal point of Jaworzno and its residents. The GEOsphere completion (phase I) ought to be achieved by May 2014.
