Inside our calendar, you’ll discover a selection of events highlighting the life of the department in 2024. On behalf of the department’s head, we warmly invite you to explore our “board magazine” (in Polish). […]
Szymon Świątek – Seminar
Some time ago, as part of our departmental scientific seminars, we had the pleasure of hosting Szymon Świątek from the Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences at Adam Mickiewicz University. Szymon presented us with the results of his research, which are part of the doctoral dissertation he is preparing. In his speech entitled “Novel Methods […]
Conference in Aveiro, Portugal
The tenth edition of the “Coastal Dynamics” conference took place in Aveiro, Portugal, from April 7 to 11. Among the attendees was a representative from our department. Patryk Sitkiewicz presented on the potential for automating the monitoring of beach morphodynamics by combining the Beachmeter tool with artificial intelligence. Sitkiewicz P., 2025, Semi-Automatic Monitoring of Beach […]
Measurement – coastal teledetection
The STORMLINK project (NCN/2021/43/D/ST10/00185) has published a new paper on its ability to detect changes in the patterns and spread of sandy sediments in the marine coastal zone. In our latest study, we combined data from a drone equipped with a LiDAR scanner with data from a multispectral camera to distinguish freshly formed sediments from […]
XV Paleolimnological Session – Lodz
On March 20-21, we held the 15th Paleolimnological Session in Lodz, centered around the theme “Lake-peat geoarchives as a source of knowledge on paleoenvironmental changes.” Our team, representing us at the session, delivered a total of six presentations. The session consistently provides a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the country. Each year, […]
Note on naukaoklimacie.pl
The „Nauka o klimacie” website has published a brief popular science article about our study of Lake Żabińskie and the reconstruction of temperature changes during the Holocene. We encourage you to read it (in Polish) at: https://naukaoklimacie.pl/aktualnosci/zbadali-11-tys-lat-historii-polskiego-jeziora-wniosek-temperatury-nigdy-nie-rosly-tak-szybko This news has also been featured by some of the largest news outlets in Poland, including Onet.pl and […]
Labwork in Stockholm
From March 10 to 14, Karol Tylmann was a guest at the Department of Geological Sciences at Stockholm University, where he conducted research on sediment cores from the bottom of the Baltic Sea as part of the “STREAMBAL” project. Karol was primarily involved in collecting glacial clay samples from the aforementioned cores for microstructural analysis […]
1st paleoIMAGING workshop – Mainz
A workshop on imaging techniques in paleo science was held in Mainz from March 11-13. “1st Paleoimaging Workshop” was held at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. This was the first meeting of its kind aimed at integrating the community of scientists using a variety of imaging techniques to reconstruct environmental changes. Four methods led the […]
STOTEN – organic carbon burial in Mexican lakes
We know that lakes bury significant amounts of organic carbon (OC) in their sediments contributing to the removal of carbon from the short-term carbon cycle. In this publication, we sought to expand knowledge of natural and anthropogenic controls of lake carbon cycling at lower latitudes by investigating four centuries of changes in the carbon sink […]
International Geomorphology Week 2025
Last week we celebrated International Geomorphology Week. Some of Us took part in the national celebration, coordinated by The Association of Polish Geomorphologists. On March Fourth, the Commission for Innovative Research Methods in Geomorphology organized the first edition of the session “Young Geomorphologists – Innovations and New Perspectives in Geomorphology,” where Young Geomorphologists from six […]
