Sufozja: proces filtracyjnego przekształcania skal

Paper presents genetical analysis of suffosion processes in the light of recent research directions. The three main issues addressed here are (1) historical frame, (2) research directions and (3) contemporary state of knowledge. Suffosion process (mechanical and chemical) was analyzed, as considered consequence of the porous structure change by filtration processes. A recent approach for description and examples for modeling suffosion were also included. The boundary between morphogenetic and structure transformation processes was examined, and the overview on terminology of deformation and filtration processes in earth sciences was proposed.
