QSR paper – seismites of the Southern Baltic
A major achievement – in terms of subject matter (ice sheet), research area (five countries!), and scope! A newly published article summarizes the GREBAL project, focusing on sedimentary records of seismic events related to the presence of ice sheets. During the Pleistocene, the Baltic Sea region experienced numerous seismic events triggered by the loading and […]
Paper in Sedimentology – Saalian eskers
We invite everyone interested in landform features related to fissure accumulation to read the latest article co-authored by Damian Moskalewicz and our colleague from the Department of Physical Geography at the University of Łódź. How did eskers form during the Middle Polish Glaciation (Saale)? How did the succession of lithofacies evolve, and can advanced statistical […]
