The thesis focuses on the computer processing and analysis of temperature measurements of massive
rock walls and the identification and analysis of freezing and thawing cycles.
The introductory part of the thesis outlines the practical problems that led to the thesis and its objectives.
This is followed by a theoretical part, which explains the effects of freezing and thawing cycles, and
from which a description is given of the research carried out at several locations in Slovenia. The data
at Smrekovec, Pasjek, and Brezno, from 1 July 2021 to 6 February 2023 were examined in more detail.
The measuring devices used and the method of measurement are also described, including photographs
which serve as a graphic illustration.
The main part consists of a presentation of the data analysis procedures for each site, with accompanying
figures. The graphs present the results of the measurements, the identified freezing and thawing cycles
and their characteristics, using examples from selected sites. The discussion compares the main findings
between the sites, highlighting the differences and similarities in the freeze-thaw cycles.
