Dominika has joined the group of assistant professors in our department and strengthened the ranks of the Paleoenvironmental Research Laboratory. She describes […]
Publication in Catena – landslide dating in Sudety Mts.
Karol Tylmann together with his colleagues, is presenting landslide-related research in Sudety Mountains. Although it may seem unusual, their article published in Catena features beryllium. This is essentially the first application of beryllium-based landslide dating in the Sudetes. The studied landslide turned out to be remarkably old – its age is estimated at 50–60 thousand […]
PaleoIMAGING – new PAGES working group
Not long ago, we reported on the special issue of PAGES Magazine dedicated to imaging techniques in paleogeographical research. We are pleased to announce that this was only an introduction to something much bigger. A new working group – PaleoIMAGING – has joined the PAGES network. Its main goal is to develop a coherent system […]
Visiting Professors VI
A few days ago, the results of the latest edition of the “UG Visiting Professors” programme were announced. Among the awardees is our good colleague, Vincent Rinterknecht. Karol Tylmann invited Vincent to support the launch and testing of our new laboratory – about which we will share more information in the future – as well […]
About the Expert Evaluation in Forum Akademickie
In the latest issue of Forum Akademickie, in the Scientific Life section, an article by Wojciech Tylmann has been published, addressing expert evaluation in the assessment of researchers and scientific institutions. “Expert evaluation conducted by international panels can brutally confront us with the actual quality of our research. It may turn out to be a […]
Publication in PNAS high in the contest
In the “Archaeological Sensations 2025” poll organized by the magazine Archeologia Żywa, the study co-authored by Sambor Czerwiński took third place in the category “The Most Important Archaeological Discovery in Poland 2025.” The research focuses on the origins of the Piast state seen through the lens of sediments from Lake Lednica. What is particularly gratifying […]
Department Seminars – new PhD students
On Thursday, January 15, we had the opportunity to gather for another seminar of our Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology. Attendance was high, and the topics were diverse, as we listened to presentations by three of our new PhD students. Anjaly, Anugrah, and Bidisha have embarked on what we hope will be the adventure […]
Publication in QSR – Cistercian activity and peatlands
A new article has been published in Quaternary Science Reviews, with Sambor Czerwiński as the first author. The authors demonstrate that long-term hydrological changes in peatlands in western Poland were closely linked to historical land-use changes. Based on high-resolution paleoenvironmental data and historical sources, they reconstructed nearly 1,000 years of human–environment interactions recorded in the […]
Department Seminars – Sanjaya Gurung
Without a doubt, we have started the new year with a focus on erratic boulders and the ice sheet. On Thursday, January 8, as part of our departmental seminars, Sanjaya Gurung presented the progress of his doctoral research. In his talk entitled “Surface exposure dating of Saalian erratic boulders with in-situ cosmogenic ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al […]
