Conferences in Borucino and Poznań
In recent weeks, Sambor Czerwiński participated in two scientific conferences. The first was The Global Water Future: A Holistic Approach to Water Monitoring and Conservation, held on September 17–19, 2025, in Borucino at the Water Monitoring and Conservation Center of our university. Sambor co-organized the event and presented the following talk: Shortly after, he attended […]
Paper in ESR – multiproxy research on peatlands
Our colleagues from Instytut Geoekologii i Geoinformacji UAM, in collaboration with Sambor Czerwiński, have undertaken a summary of the latest advances in peatland research using a multiproxy approach – combining various indicators such as pollen, plant macrofossils, testate amoebae, biomarkers, and stable isotopes. Peatlands prove to be exceptional archives of climate change and human impact […]
Paper in QSR – crater lake Alchichica
In our latest publication, we return to Mexico, to the semi-arid Cuenca Oriental region, which has long been inhabited by agricultural civilizations. The article presents new data from the Alchichica crater lake, located 18 km from the ancient city of Cantona (600–1050 CE). Isotopic data allowed us to identify three major drought periods: (I) ca. […]
Visit in Spain – Alicja Bonk
Between September 1st and 4th, Ala Bonk visited Spain, where she met with Pablo Corella from the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid and Graciela Gil-Romera from the Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología in Zaragoza. She brought back two short sediment cores from Lake Arreo – the first step toward collaborative research on the history […]
Biebrza NP – fieldwork
A few days ago, Alicja Bonk, together with our recent graduate Ola Orłowska and future bachelor’s degree recipient Barbara Biały, visited Biebrza National Park. The purpose of the trip was to collect research material following the extensive fire that swept through this unique area in April of this year. We extend our heartfelt thanks to […]
Publication in JoPl – Lake Gorzyńskie chronology
In recent days, the first paper on Lake Gorzyńskie, our new site with varved sediments, was published. In an article in the Journal of Paleolimnology, we present the chronology of the sediments, an initial look at their chemical composition, and our preliminary thoughts on the potential of this unique archive—our record extends back approximately 13,250 […]
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, […]
Note on naukaoklimacie.pl
The „Nauka o klimacie” website has published a brief popular science article about our study of Lake Żabińskie and the reconstruction of temperature changes during the Holocene. We encourage you to read it (in Polish) at: https://naukaoklimacie.pl/aktualnosci/zbadali-11-tys-lat-historii-polskiego-jeziora-wniosek-temperatury-nigdy-nie-rosly-tak-szybko This news has also been featured by some of the largest news outlets in Poland, including Onet.pl and […]
1st paleoIMAGING workshop – Mainz
A workshop on imaging techniques in paleo science was held in Mainz from March 11-13. “1st Paleoimaging Workshop” was held at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. This was the first meeting of its kind aimed at integrating the community of scientists using a variety of imaging techniques to reconstruct environmental changes. Four methods led the […]
STOTEN – organic carbon burial in Mexican lakes
We know that lakes bury significant amounts of organic carbon (OC) in their sediments contributing to the removal of carbon from the short-term carbon cycle. In this publication, we sought to expand knowledge of natural and anthropogenic controls of lake carbon cycling at lower latitudes by investigating four centuries of changes in the carbon sink […]
