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, […]
