Last Thursday, Nov. 7, we had the pleasure of hosting a guest from Finland at our department seminar. 🇫🇮 Saija Saarni from the University of Turku (Finnish: Turun Yliopisto) visited us at the invitation of Alicja Bonk and presented a lecture titled “The power of varved records and sediment trap monitoring – Lessons learned from Finnish lake systems.”
During the presentation, we had the opportunity to hear about observations of contemporary sedimentation and studies on microplastics based on varved lake sediments. In the end, an interesting discussion also ensued!
