The study area and the reservoir are 1.75 km2, and the lake constitutes 10.7%. These layers are also rich in hard coal deposits Above the Carboniferous series are Triassic sands limestones and marls (~ 180 m) with karst contact between Triassic and Miocene layers The surface formations consist of Quaternary deposits (~ 20 m) mainly boulder clays and fluvioglacial sands and gravels of two glaciation episodes Faults can also be seen in the formations below the Pleistocene layers Regarding hydrology, the northern part is located in the Vistula basin (Fig. 1c) part of the Brynica and then the Przemsza catchment the southern part of the area is located in the Oder basin The first-order water divide passes in the southern part of the research zone The land cover is varied (Fig. 1d) The northern part is occupied mainly by forests and the southern part is by grassy vegetation The buildings are located in the western part the eastern part is dominated by the railway line and the Bytom ring road topographic maps in Polish coordinate reference systems made available via WMS services were used This part of the work consisted of several parts: reconstruction of the former terrain relief, analysis of the height differences, pond bottom reconstruction and reconstructed model verification. The main stages and data processing steps are presented as a workflow diagram (Fig. 2). the terrain lowering was imperceptible/slowed down or less intense than after the war with the maximum production in 1970 (2,259,490 Mg) The DEM from the LiDAR data for 2012 in the PL-KRON86-NH elevation system was transformed into the PL-EVRS2007-NH elevation system; the correction value for Bytom was + 0.17 m DEMs from 2012 and 2019 were also resampled to a field resolution of 10 × 10 m consistent with the values of the models reconstructed from older topographic maps The obtained differences were “net” values allowing us to determine the size of the “loss” of rock masses—here: land subsidence the “net” values were divided by the surface area of the studied terrain The average subsidence values of the entire area in meters were obtained Dividing them by time showed the average rate of land subsidence per year The changes were also presented as morphological profiles of the terrain using a Profile Tool plug-in for QGIS These conditions allowed us to assume that the bottom shape of the Brandka Pond could look similar to the relief from 1993 The coastline was determined based on the orthophoto map valid at the time of the measurement both DEM models were used to calculate the volume of water in the pond The absolute height of the water table 267 m a.s.l The verification process also used raw sonar results and depth values reconstructed at the intersection points (cf. Fig. 3) 97 common points no more than 0.5 m apart were selected We used the Vector selection by location tool in QGIS for this purpose We also analysed the change in the course of the first-order watershed line between the Vistula and Oder basins using the Convergence Index for DEM from 1993 and 2019 in SAGA GIS maximum positive values indicate ridge skeleton lines and minimum negative values—are watercourse/valley skeleton lines One of the significant changes in land use related to human activity is the disappearance of industrial areas due to the closure of the mining shafts the hills of the former mine shafts of the zinc and lead ore mines (so-called warpies) can still be seen One of the most characteristic is the “Koch” shaft located at the northern part of the shoreline of the Brandka Pond it creates an island in the studied reservoir and the lowest in the altitude zone 285–290 m a.s.l the altitude relations were subject to significant changes constituting the largest percentage share in the research area most areas are located in the altitude zone of 270–275 m a.s.l one can notice the disappearance of the highest altitude ranges and the emergence of new lowest altitudes (260–265 m a.s.l.) The average height of the terrain (arithmetic mean) also decreased from 295.2 (in 1939/1941) to 276.6 m a.s.l The most remarkable height differences occurred between 1958/1961 and 1983 (Fig. 6). The subsidence values reached 20 m in the western part of the present reservoir. In the remaining time intervals, the land-lowering values were up to a maximum of about 10 m. Recently (2012–2019), the subsidence rate has slowed to almost zero, except for the part south of the Brandka Pond. This “loss” means an average lowering of the entire study area by 18.5 m The rate of lowering was an average of 170–220 mm per year in the years 1939/1941–1958/1961 The process almost completely stopped in 2012–2019 when the average rate of land lowering was calculated at 37 mm per year The stabilization of the shoreline range characterizes contemporary periods the adjacent floodplain in the subsidence basin—WS-47 “Bączek”—begins to develop clearly The maximum differences between both models are − 3.84 m (shallower areas) and + 0.26 m (more deep areas) The vast majority of the reservoir (70.6%) is within the depth difference range up to a maximum of ± 1 m The most significant negative discrepancy (shallower areas) between the former Koch shaft and the post-mining heap and in the eastern part of the Brandka Pond (from 1 to 2 m) can be observed the most significant positive differences (deeper areas) occur in the central part of the lake (from 1 to 3 m) The pond volume in the case of a reconstruction attempt was 422,073 m3 ± 370 m3 The difference amounts to 0.2% between both models The average depth of the pond is 2.44 m from the reconstructed model and 2.4 m from the bathymetric model Combining both elements puts man in a losing position even when calculations indicate that the building’s construction should withstand such intense subsidence The reconstruction accuracy may be improved by increasing the number of reference points around the lake shoreline, which contain information about the “beginning” terrain height and the subsidence rate. In our study, the points were 100 m apart (cf. Fig. 3) It will increase the number of connections between the points and thus increase the number of intersections used in further calculation steps the main reason for choosing the distance between reference points should be the target resolution of DEMs a 5–11 cm thick layer of sediments was formed during the 13–14 years of the reservoir’s operation the average sedimentation rate was determined at the level of 3.6–8.5 mm per year Due to the similar genesis and the nearby location of the examined reservoir the obtained average sedimentation rate can be related to the Brandka Pond Considering sedimentation with an average value of 5 mm per year and the development time of Pond Brandka (26 years) there should be a layer of bottom sediments with an average thickness of about 13 cm An example is the northern part of Brandka Pond and sonar data interpretation is challenging Our calculations have shown that the described method due to the possible vertical error of ± 0.7–0.9 m will be suitable for areas where reservoirs with a depth greater than 2 m have developed regulated by the number of reference points around the modern pond shoreline thanks to which we can increase the density of points for reconstruction and thus also influence the resolution of the resulting DEMs The analysis showed that in the case of eutrophic reservoirs the problem in data verification is the low density of the bottom in the sonar image resulting from the accumulated sediments and vegetation They will improve the interpretation of sounding results and the accuracy of the reconstructed models of the pond bottom relief the most significant problem remains the previously mentioned issue of water purity with certain expenditures and reclamation procedures such reservoirs can also be recreational areas for the city be included in the retention infrastructure and be a valuable area of increased biodiversity In light of the analysis and due to the activation of coal mining monitoring the subsidence rate of the Brandka Pond and the neighbouring Bączek Pond is necessary Everything indicates that both lakes will soon merge and further pumping out excess water will not be profitable The development of this area towards including it in the blue-green infrastructure for Bytom should be a priority for the city's decision-making institutions Abramowicz, A., Rahmonov, O. & Chybiorz, R.

Metrics details The impact of multiple years of underground mining of minerals on changes in the elevation of an urban area has been evaluated using the case study of Bytom in southern Poland that city experienced changes in absolute minimum (from 250.0 to 243.0 m a.s.l.) and maximum (from 340.0 to 348.4 m a.s.l.) elevations the difference between minimum and maximum elevations increased from 90.0 to 105.4 m The consequence of underground mining has been the formation of extensive subsidence basins with a maximum depth of 35 m its elevation rose most commonly by 1.1 m to 5.0 m with maximum increase in elevation caused by human activity amounting to 35 m The rate of anthropogenic subsidence in the city between 1883 and 2011 averaged 43 mm/year (5.5 m over the study period) if the mining fields already extend to urban areas mining is not carried out under built-up areas which are protected by so-called safety pillars Study area location: 1—water courses and water reservoirs; 2—major cities The aim of this study was to assess the influence of many years of underground extraction of minerals on changes in elevation in an urban area Owing to the fact that the intensity of mining activity and thus also its effects visible on the surface it was necessary to use different time periods for which detailed studies were performed which corresponds to 1.2 mm given the map’s scale these maps are fairly good in cartometric terms in relation to those produced at the end of the twentieth century The contemporary Polish maps were produced using the 92 coordinate system and the Gauss-Krüger projection The main contour interval on these maps is 10 m The analysis of hypsometric changes was preceded by the calibration of archival topographic materials to fit the modern coordinate system (imposing a modern coordinate system on historical maps) Calibration enables the map in question to be located spatially and minimises the distortions resulting from material deformations thus enabling various spatial analyses to be performed on the basis of the map and comparisons to be made between the state of affairs presented on the map and the contemporary one GIS tools make it possible to rectify maps using contemporary topographic elements; in this case topographic points on an archival map (e.g road junctions and churches) are given the coordinates read from contemporary maps The archival maps were fitted using first-degree affine transformation using several dozen chaotically distributed characteristic points (per map sheet) Calibration was performed using the ArcMap 10 software The terrain models were produced in the Map Info Professional 10.0 software using the Vertical Mapper device The models were based on the linear vectorisation of contour lines which were subsequently converted into points situated at certain heights above sea level The points created in this manner were interpolated using the natural neighbour method On the basis of the resulting terrain models cartograms of relief intensity and of changes in relief intensity were produced differences in height and slopes within the city area were determined in quantitative terms The final stage of the analysis was to produce a map of changes in land relief a simple raster map algebra was applied using the Vertical Mapper overlay: A (1883) – B (1994) = C (the magnitude of subsidence or “growth” in land relief in the period between 1883 and 1994) which covers the entire area of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin demonstrates that the maximum error was ± 0.45 m The comparison between the two terrain models developed for that study shows that the maximum differences in terrain elevation in the area where no changes in relief occurred due to human activity during the studied period (wooded areas in the northern part of the city) do not exceed ± 1.5 m Land relief within the city of Bytom at the end of the nineteenth century (within present-day city limits): 1—city boundary; 2—absolute elevation [m a.s.l.]. Land relief within the city of Bytom at the end of the twentieth century (within present-day city limits): 1—city boundary; 2—absolute elevation [m a.s.l.] The average gradient of the area analysed at that time was 1.7° areas with gradients of up to 3° still prevailed in Bytom the proportion of flat land (< 1.0°) decreased significantly (by 13.7%) an increase in the share of land with steeper gradients in each of the ranges was noted and areas with gradients greater than 20° could be identified as well there was a significant decrease in the share of areas with gradients of up to 3º The share of flat areas (< 1.0°) decreased by nearly 20% in just 17 years the city saw a significant increase in the share of areas with gradients greater than 3° There was also a marked increase in areas with the greatest gradients—to 9.5% in the (9.1°–20.0°) range and to 6.3% above 20° The average gradient in Bytom at that time was 5.8° Changes in relative elevation within Bytom between 1883 and 1994: 1—city boundary; 2—elevation changes at selected height control points; 3—elevation changes within city limits mining subsidence in the built-up areas of Longkou city after 20 years of coal mining was only identified in an area of 5.7 hectares The maximum depth of subsidence basins inventoried throughout the Longkou region only exceeds 5 m Land subsidence in the Bytom area in the years 1883–2011: 1—contemporary city limits; 2—built-up areas where mining damage and demolitions occurred; 3—built-up areas (as at 1883); 4—built-up areas (as at 1934); 5—built-up areas (as at 1994); 6—built-up areas (as at 2011); 7—range of land subsidence in the period 1883–2011; 8—city districts. Examples of damage to Bytom’s urban fabric as a consequence of land subsidence (photo: M As a result of human activity in the urban areas of Bytom in the years 1883–2011 changes in minimum and maximum absolute elevations were found—from 250.0 to 243.0 m a.s.l The difference between maximum and minimum elevation increased from 90.0 m to 105.4 m during that period A consequence of underground mining are extensive subsidence basins reaching 35 m in depth the anthropogenic subsidence rate averaged 43 mm per year differences in land elevations within the city became much more pronounced which was reflected among others by a decrease in the share of land with gradients of up to 3° from 85.1 to 42.0% and an increase in the share of land with gradients above 9.1° from 0.8 to 15.8% Changes in land gradients were caused by the appearance of the aforementioned subsidence basins the increase in absolute elevation affected slightly more than 14% of the city area The presented method of assessing changes in elevation can be successfully applied to areas well documented on accurate and detailed topographic maps The spectrum of its application may be considered in cognitive terms the data obtained can be used in further local and regional studies on all components of the environment and also in order to create a global database on land relief changes in mining areas (which would in practice be representative of the Anthropocene since it would reflect changes in relief in the period with the greatest human impact on the environment to date) The typical application of the method is related to its use by spatial planners in order to illustrate a possible impact of land relief changes on the destruction of the urban fabric Bąbel, J. et al.

Group H in Bytom host Poland trailed 2-0 in halfway through the third period before scoring three times in a span of 1:45 to turn the game on its head Poland advances to the Final Olympic Qualification Round next month “The only thing that changed is that we finally started burring our chances,” said Polish head coach Ivan Bednar We could have been up 3-0 in the first period but we missed some of our chances And then we fell behind by a couple of goals but we just kept battling and eventually it paid off.” Klaudia Chrapek scored the winning goal while Karolina Pozniewska and Wiktoria Sikorska each had two points for Poland The Netherlands outshot Poland 25-22 in the game “It’s too bad because I don’t think they were a better team than us but just a bit luckier,” said Dutch head coach Joep Franke They scored three goals and we scored two.” Poland came out of the gate more aggressively and the Dutch had to weather a bit of a storm but gradually started to turn the flow in their favour and got the game’s first power play Poland got two breakaways against the run of play – in the fourth minute it was Oliwia Tomczok and then on the PK in the eighth minute it was Pozniewska who tried to slide the puck through the pads of Eline Gabriele but the Dutch goalie wouldn’t be beaten The Poles then had the Dutch back on their heels for the last five minutes of the first period and first few minutes of the second thanks to four straight power plays which included two stretches of 5-on-3 hockey “They came out flying in the first period and we had to be careful but it stayed scoreless,” said Franke “Then we got a few penalties but we killed them off and in the second period we really started to play better as a team.” The Netherlands opening the scoring on their second power play with Isabelle Schollaardt perfectly re-directing Zoe Barbier’s centring pass through the legs of Martyna Sass at 24:31 with each team getting power-play chances and Poland very nearly tying the game late in the second period with Tomczok’s pass to Sikorska at the far post just failing to connect “You could feel it on the ice that this was a big game and both teams wanted it,” said Dutch defender Michelle Noe “It was so intense and we were battling very hard.” “It was a very intense game because they play really physical,” said forward Kamila Wieczorek “That’s something we knew from the past and it’s a part of our game that we’ve gotten better at That’s why we were better against them than in the World Championship and it’s one of the reasons we won.” Julie Zwarthoed had a chance to extend the Dutch lead on a shorthanded rush Tomczok’s one-timer sailed just high with the near side open Just past the midpoint of the final period the Dutch were pressing deep in the Polish zone and Esther de Jong backhanded a pass in front to Maree Dijkema whose shot went off the back crossbar and out so quickly that video replay was needed to confirm it “I was really glad to see that go in,” said Noe “We were feeling good and playing good at that time It’s just too bad what happened after that It’s a hard feeling now but we played as a team and never quit and that’s something we can all be proud of anyway.” Poland wasn’t finished and with 7:13 to play finally got on the scoreboard as Wieczorek found Pozniewska at the far side then I took a step forward and I saw Karolina so I passed to her,” Wieczorek described “She was in a better position to score because I was on my backhand.” Wiktoria Gogoc kept the puck in at the point with two Dutch players pressuring her and Sikorska’s wrister went off a Dutch stick and over the left shoulder of Gabriele the Poles connected for a third time in less than two minutes Ewelina Czarnecka won an attacking-zone faceoff back to Chrapek who sailed a wrist shot through a crowd in front and over the shoulder of a screened Gabriele Now it was the Netherlands’ turn to desperately press hard and play stayed in the Polish end for much of the last three minutes Gabriele was pulled for a sixth attacker and it became 6-on-4 when Chrapek went off for hooking with 47 seconds to go “At the end I think we were nervous because we got a penalty and we were stuck in our zone but we cleared our heads and played simple hockey and just trying to get every puck out,” said Wieczorek But the Dutch just couldn’t break through as the front of the net was kept relatively clear the Polish players stormed off the bench and mobbed Sass “It’s an amazing feeling to gain this promotion,” said Wieczorek the teams are going to be stronger than us but we’ll just try to show them that Poland just keeps on fighting.” The government must serve Polish entrepreneurs Especially in the crises we have faced in recent years — the pandemic and the international economic crisis caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine We took immediate action to mitigate their impact we introduced the shield programmes to protect employees and employers alike Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki recently visited the production plant of PanPiek a company that has received government support for energy-intensive industries we protected Polish entrepreneurs with the anti-crisis anti-inflation and solidarity shield programmes We froze electricity and gas prices and granted support to help companies survive we saved nearly 8 million jobs during the pandemic it is always worth considering how the state behaves but we always stay with entrepreneurs" “We will take care of all entrepreneurs We will strive to create such conditions for business that the competitive advantage of large customers is not so overwhelming This is precisely what the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection is for cannot erode the margins of Polish entrepreneurs" Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki concluded We help small and medium-sized Polish companies Local entrepreneurs are of great value to the Polish economy That is why we have introduced lower social security contribution rates for the smallest businesses we support entrepreneurs through such activities as: 2nd in 2.

The purpose of the contest was to give a concept that shows a search for new uses for diaphragms in urban public spaces. Participants were to find new and interesting ways of membranes and showing the diversity that one can establish with its aid. A diaphragm is synthetic, subtle but flexible and heavy material, which is considered as the lightest material which allows us the evolution of space. Membrane structures are very specific. The nature of their work is directly linked to their form. More images and architects’ description after the break. Frosty Chimney combines the functions of seats and street lamps while also being a characteristic landmark in space. Thanks to the strength of the surface membrane, it is possible to sit or lie on it. It creates a chill space for pedestrians to rest, and stays cool on scorching days due to its sheer and reflective material. Courtesy of Tomasz Ostafin, Krzysztof Pydo-Bytom & Stalowa WolaThe proposed installation takes the form of a tower or lamp. The characteristic form of Frosty Chimney creates a gathering point in cities. Moreover, the transparency of the material with waterproof LED strips provides light in the dark. Courtesy of Tomasz Ostafin, Krzysztof Pydo-Bytom & Stalowa WolaThe destination points are green areas in cities, parks, clearings, squares, courtyards and anywhere inhabitants exist.
