Dear Readers,
We are presenting a new issue of our monograph entitled “Salt Review”, prepared in
cooperation with the AGH University of Science and Technology Press in Krakow. Owing
to a large number of submitted papers and reports on the salt industry and business, this
year’s edition is composed of two volumes of the “Geology, Geophysics & Environment”
Quarterly, numbered 1 and 2.
We would like to thank our authors of papers and business reports and studies for the
abundant materials submitted for publication. Considering the dif¿ culties of many editors
with obtaining specialist contributions, our scholarly activities indicated by the increased
number of publications are absolutely outstanding on a national scale. Undoubtedly, that
is a result of the consolidation of the Polish salt industry animated by the Polish Salt Mining
Association.
A considerable role in our circles is played by constructive co-operation of the scholarly
and research institutions with the Polish industrial companies.
The success of our “Salt Review” and its existence on the research market for several
years have been possible owing to ¿ nancial support offered by salt mines and associated
corporations.
At this point, we would like to thank especially the following: IKS Solino SA, Grupa
Orlen SA, KGHM Polska MiedĨ SA, Kopalnia Soli Wieliczka SA, OBR G.S. Chem.
Chemkop SA, PRWiG Warszawa Sp. z o.o., Hydronafta Piáa Sp. z o.o., Sandvik Mining
and Construction Sp. z o.o., Investgas SA, and CFT Polska Sp. z o.o. for kind sponsoring
of the XVI International Quo Vadis Sal Symposium which took place in ToruĔ on 13–14 Oc-
tober 2011, whose budget also covered the publication of this year’s “Salt Review”.
Our special gratitude is directed to the Management and Workers of IKS Solino SA,
the hosts of the last year’s Symposium, for excellent and substantive co-operation and perfect
preparation of our conference.

President of the Polish Salt Mining Association (PSGS)
