PREFACE

Dear Readers,

We are writing on behalf of our board of editors, authors and other co-operating persons and institutions to invite you to read Volume V of our “Salt Review” Monograph, issued as Volume 2 of the “Geologia” quarterly by the AGH University of Science and Technology Press in Kraków.

The preparation and edition of the “Salt Review” is partly financed by the Polish Salt Mining Association (PSGS).

In the first part of the Volume, we present the papers concerning the salt matters in Poland and abroad. Some of them were read during the XV International Quo Vadis Sal Symposium in Świeradów-Zdrój.

The second part contains topical reports and announcements about the Polish salt industry in general.

The “Salt Review” Monograph is published owing to kind sponsorship of the Polish salt mines and corporations co-operating with our salt industry. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to: KGHM Polska Miedź SA, KGHM Cuprum Sp. z o.o., University of Wrocław, IKS Solino S.A., Grupa Lotos SA, and Kopalnia Soli Wieliczka for their substantive and financial aid before and during the XV International Quo Vadis Sal Symposium in Świeradów-Zdrój on 21–22.10.2010, as this Volume contains the Symposium proceedings.

We would also like to thank the authors of papers and reports and the paper reviewers for their time and intellectual contribution to make this Volume complete.

The Monograph series entitled the “Salt Review” prepared mostly by the members of the Polish Salt Mining Association working at universities, research institutes, agencies and industrial corporations, is an excellent example of substantive and creative co-operation between science and industry. We are convinced that our co-operation brings real benefits to the Polish salt business and offers information about our modest contribution to the industry development for the benefit of future generations.
