Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 448, Issue 448
Abstract
Summary of cooperation between specialists from Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute and the Geological Survey of Lithuania during the last 20 years (1990–2010) is presented in this paper. During several stages of work and investigations, they have gathered data and created common databases for the border zone, e.g. geosites database. Groundwater monitoring was organized and initiated, analysis of satellite images was made in terms of land use changes. Different thematic maps, including maps of soil contamination by heavy metals, were performed, too. Additionally, the sites connected with Marshal Józef Piłsudski were described in detail, with the special attention to its geotouristic and nature values. These sites are very attractive from the landscape point of view and are characteristic by interesting geological conditions. These comprehensive studies have created a good base for the multidirectional cooperation of the Polish and Lithuanian geologists. Such cooperation is in agreement with the European Union recommendation to introduce Principles of the European Territorial Planning Policy. The aim of this policy leads to the reduction of pollution and improvement of environmental conditions in Europe. Results of common studies were presented in several papers, including the Atlas – Geology for environmental protection and territorial planning in the Polish-Lithuanian cross-border area, 1:500,000.
