Publication in Climate of the Past – 3000 years of NAO changes
High-resolution, multiproxy studies of the sediments of Lake Schweriner See (the fourth largest in Germany), in which Sambor Czerwiński also contributed, made it possible to reconstruct large-scale atmospheric processes of the last 3,000 years. The results suggest variability in the North Atlantic Oscillation, NAO. Prior to about 1850, productivity in Lake Schweriner See was mainly […]
Publication in SoftwareX – Beachmeter, an ArcGIS toolbox
In Patryk Sitkiewicz’s latest article, we learn about a new method for measuring beach morphodynamics and morphology. Patryk has developed a GIS tool that, using remote sensing data, allows us to extend our studies in time and space. Beachmeter is an open-source toolbox released for ArcGIS software. If you are interested, please read Patrick’s article, […]
