Our Department’s seminar series for the new academic year was opened by our colleague Piotr Paweł Woźniak, Head of the Geomorphological Reconstructions Laboratory. In his presentation titled “Genesis of giant load casts in a glaciolacustrine setting at Pitkämö, Finland,” he introduced us to the origin of load structures in glaciolacustrine sediments from faraway Pitkämö in Finland. We thank Piotr for an engaging start to the new semester!
