Próba oszacowania maksymalnych przepływów wód lodowcowych lądolodu Wisły na Pomorzu

Abstract

According to the concept of uniformity in geological processes it was assumed a hypothesis that the beginning of the Pomeranian outwash fans accumulation was controlled by the active phase of the glacier surge when processes of the end moraine ridges incision and the canyon formation started. There were prepared cross sections used for different hydraulic parameters measurements and calculations (e.g. flow velocity and discharges) for 168 canyons on the basis of the DEM. The transition of the instability subglacial drainage system into the tunnel drainage caused violent outburst floods. Estimations suggest the extreme character of the Pomeranian meltwater discharges with a scale of 5×103 to 1×105 m3/s.
