Publication in Geophysical Research Letters – 10800 years of temperature change
From 2014 to 2024, there hasn’t been a year without at least one published paper about Lake Żabińskie. In the latest publication, we examine the variability of warm season temperatures throughout almost the entire Holocene with exceptionally high, 3-year resolution, all based on varied sediments and µXRF scan results. We invite you to read it! […]
November lecture for high-school
Our Department strives to demonstrate social engagement and initiative, especially towards younger science enthusiasts. On November 7th, we hosted students from the I Academic High School named after Distinguished People of the Sea in Gdynia. They visited us to learn about lake sediments and varves by participating in the classes titled “In the Microcosm of […]
“HyPyR” workshop – HSI methods
From November 4th to 5th, the virtual “HyPyR” workshop on hyperspectral imaging of sediments (HSI) was held. One of the co-organizers of the workshop, alongside Petra Zahajská and Tobias Schneider from the University of Bern (Switzerland), was Maurycy Żarczyński. During the event, attendees learned the theoretical basics of HSI and had the chance to see […]
Elsevier monography – dating techniques
Elsevier has published a monography titled “Climate and Anthropogenic Impacts on Earth Surface Processes in the Anthropocene.” It provides a comprehensive overview of how ongoing and accelerated environmental changes, driven by human activities, affect Earth’s surface processes. The book contains up-to-date knowledge about these effects and presents systematic and quantitative methods for studying the drivers […]
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 […]
EAA conference – Rome 2024
Last week Sambor Czerwiński attended the conference ‘30th European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting in Rome, Italy’ where he presented a paper entitled ‘New findings on human impact in Greater Poland during the Migration Period based on high-resolution palaeoenvironmental reconstructions’. Despite sweltering temperatures and other adversities such as the lack of a presenter, Sambor presented […]
An interview with Maurycy Żarczyński
An interview with Maurycy Żarczyński has been published on the University of Gdańsk’s main website. In it, Maurycy discusses the publication of the Holocene 4.2k event and his postdoctoral stay at Northern Arizona University.
