Carinthia is also a geological view of the border area. From Lesachtal in the west to the Jauntal in the east, the periadriatic seam stretches. A fault line in the rock that was formed in the course of Earth's history. Since 2014, research has been conducted in the obiro caves. The goal is the earthquake prediction. 
The pal.Idriatic seam stretches from west to east throughout the Alps, from Piedmont in Italy to the north-east of Croatia. In some cases, it is only recognizable by geologists, but in some areas it is also visible, for example in the obircad caves near Bad Eisenkappel. Ivo Baron is a geologist at the Czech Academy of Sciences and, with his research team in the rock fracture line, installed measuring instruments in the obircave to record these movements in the rock. It is a globally unique research project: “Our group is the only one in the world that can make three-dimensional measurements in the microometric field of disturbances.”

Carinthia is a border region from a geological point of view. The Periadriatic Seam stretches from the Lesach Valley in the west to the Jaun Valley in the east. A fault line in the rock that was formed in the course of the Earth's history. Research has been carried out in the Obir Caves since 2014. The aim is to predict earthquakes.

Seminar / Workshop

Taiwan-Czech Republic Workshop on Slope and Active Tectonics jointly organized by the ARDWC and National Cheng Kung University, successfully concluded. This workshop brought together geological experts from the Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics (USMH), Masaryk University and National Cheng Kung University. Professors and students from various Taiwanese universities were also invited to participate, engaging in in-depth discussions on topics related to deep-seated landslides and active tectonics. 
During the workshop, experts shared their research findings and experiences, covering fascinating topics such as oblique thrust to strike-slip, application of magnetic susceptibility anisotropy to active faults and landslide masses, and other topics. Participants attentively listened, fostering rich intellectual exchanges that propelled advancements in the geological field.

For decades, spelunkers have flocked to the flooded caverns of the Czech Republic’s Hranice Abyss, which stretches farther below ground than any other freshwater cave system. Now, a scientific campaign to the cave has revealed it is 1 kilometer deep, more than twice as deep as previously thought. The researchers also say the abyss formed as groundwater seeped down from the surface, not as water percolated up, as previously believed—a finding that could call into question the origin of other deep caves.
Now, scientists have revealed a clearer picture using a combination of geophysical techniques.
Klanica and his colleagues also found evidence of an ancient groundwater drainage system in the limestone, suggesting a new, aboveground origin for the abyss-
The resulting picture revealed a system of deep, trenchlike caverns—some filled with sediment—that had been carved from the limestone, Surprisingly, these sediment-covered trenches extend to about 1 kilometer below the surface—far deeper than previous estimates, the team reported this month in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface.

Dr. Matt Rowberry from Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics of the CAS, developed a contactless positioning system for monitoring geological discontinuities such as faults and fractures. Once again, the very same physical principle was targetting a completely different scale, and the second scaffold was constructed. This contactless positioning system has been deployed on to monitor landslides in the Canary Islands and active tectonic faults in Austria and Spain.

The event was organised by Spanish Embassy on November 15, 2018, at the Czech Academy of Sciences, which aims to transform ladders into scaffolds.
