Badania stanu wybranych osuwisk na terenie Kadzielni

Abstract

The Kadzielnia nature reserve located in Kielce is a remnant of the long-term exploitation of limestone. The slopes of a former quarry are unstable; landslide processes occur there, posing a threat to humans and disturbing the landscape. This condition requires observation of the changes in order to take preventive measures. The article presents the preliminary results of such observations, performed for four selected landslides in Kadzielnia. While measuring, modern geodetic techniques were applied, including satellite technology, scanning tacheometry and laser scanning. Obtained results indicate slight displacements of the monitored walls over several months. Observations which were made are initiating study on the behavior of the landslides in the area of Kadzielnia, aimed at early detection of threats and enabling taking safety procedures
