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 […]
ECSS paper – sandy beaches
Wide sandy beaches – for many, a memory of the summer that has just passed. For us, the subject of our latest publication in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science. Tourists and coastal residents expect sandy beaches. But what happens when sand is scarce, the beach is narrow and overgrown, and we are dealing with a highly […]
Sedimentological Field Workshop – Szelment near Suwałki
Karol Tylmann represented our Department at sedimentology workshops focused on glacial floods in the Suwalszczyzna region of Poland. From September 1st to 5th, in the picturesque surroundings of Lake Szelment, the workshops included one day of lectures and presentations, followed by four days in the field. Organizers showcased geomorphological and sedimentological evidence of a massive […]
Fieldwork – Odra glaciation
While on their way to this year’s INQUA Peribaltic Group conference, Karol Tylmann, together with Piotr Woźniak, Olga Reutt, and Sanjaya Gurung, didn’t waste any time — instead, they collected samples for cosmogenic isotope dating. This time, their target was a set of rocks in the Sudety Foreland in Lower Silesia, near Zgorzelec, and in […]
INQUA Peribaltic Group meeting – Harz, Germany
From August 25th to 29th, a strong team from the Geomorphological Reconstruction Laboratory — Piotr Woźniak, Karol Tylmann, Olga Reutt, and Sanjaya Gurung — took part in the regular conference of the INQUA Peribaltic Working Group. This time, enthusiasts of glaciations, boulders, clay, sand, and gravel of all kinds gathered in the picturesque Harz Mountains […]
Bachelor defense – Anastazja Mastylak
On Tuesday, September 9th, our student Anastazja Mastylak successfully defended her bachelor’s thesis, officially joining the ranks of our graduates. Her thesis, titled “Assessment of the usefulness of dating detrital zircon grains in provenance studies of glacial clays in the southwestern part of the area affected by the last Scandinavian glaciation” (Pol. „Ocena przydatności datowania […]
Summer School – Romania
From July 7th to 11th, Karol Tylmann joined a group of second-year geology students for a summer school organized under the ERASMUS+ program by the Faculty of Geography at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The school was held under the theme “Dendrogeomorphology”, and students attended introductory lectures on the first day at the university in […]
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 […]
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 […]
