Publication in QSR – Late Glacial in Lake Gorzyńskie
Varved sediments from Lake Gorzyńskie in western Poland form a unique archive of environmental change spanning the transition from the last glaciation to the Holocene. Detailed sedimentological, geochemical, and paleobiological analyses made it possible to trace how forests, the catchment, and the lake responded to climate change. The research shows that during cooling, vegetation changes […]
Publication in REC – landscape changes in paleolimnology
We are delighted to share that a new publication involving our colleagues has appeared in Regional Environmental Change. The authors are Alicja Bonk, Wojciech Tylmann, and Maja Łaska – our master’s student. Alicja is clearly on track for a record-breaking year! The article reconstructs the history of fires and environmental change in northern Poland based […]
Publication in Biogeosciences – peatland in Solska Forest
After conferences and seminars, it is time for another publication co-authored by Dominika Łuców. The authors traced over 2,300 years of transformation in a peatland in Puszcza Solska (Lublin Voivodeship), which evolved from a stable alder carr dominated – nomen omen – by alder, to a bog pine forest with a predominance of pine. Drawing […]
Publication in QSR – crater lake in Mexico
In a recent publication co-authored by Wojciech Tylmann, the authors studied the crater lake Laguna de Santa Maria del Oro, located within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (pol. Transmeksykański Pas Wulkaniczny). Drawing on sediments spanning the last 1,500 years and combining mineralogical and geochemical analyses (XRD and XRF), the authors reconstructed changes in hydroclimatic conditions in […]
Publication in CATENA – 13,000 years of fire history
Back-to-back fires are a real problem for the environment, but a second “fire-related” publication by Ala Bonk in the same month is a reason to celebrate! We are pleased to announce the publication of another article on Lake Gorzyńskie (pol. Jezioro Gorzyńskie). It presents 13,000 years of environmental change and fire dynamics in the lake’s […]
Publication in QSR – 2000 years of fire history (Eifel, Germany)
We are pleased to share news of a new article published in Quaternary Science Reviews, with Alicja Bonk as the lead author. The study presents a reconstruction of fire regime changes in the Eifel mountain region (Germany) over the past 2,000 years, based on high-resolution analyses of sediments from Lake Holzmaar. The research combines charcoal […]
Publication in Coastal Research – Beachmeter and AI in coastal areas
A new article by Patryk Sitkiewicz has just been published in the Coastal Research series (Springer). In this work, the author presents the first attempt at semi-automated monitoring of coastal morphodynamics. Patryk developed and applied his own tool, Beachmeter, and trained an artificial intelligence model capable of independently interpreting the results of GIS analyses. The […]
Publication in Catena – landslide dating in Sudety Mts.
Karol Tylmann together with his colleagues, is presenting landslide-related research in Sudety Mountains. Although it may seem unusual, their article published in Catena features beryllium. This is essentially the first application of beryllium-based landslide dating in the Sudetes. The studied landslide turned out to be remarkably old – its age is estimated at 50–60 thousand […]
Publication in QSR – Cistercian activity and peatlands
A new article has been published in Quaternary Science Reviews, with Sambor Czerwiński as the first author. The authors demonstrate that long-term hydrological changes in peatlands in western Poland were closely linked to historical land-use changes. Based on high-resolution paleoenvironmental data and historical sources, they reconstructed nearly 1,000 years of human–environment interactions recorded in the […]
Publication in Quaternary International – Pleistocene glaciation in northern Poland
The year has just begun, and we already have another publication – once again in Quaternary International!The team from the Geomorphological Reconstruction Laboratory (Karol Tylmann, Piotr Woźniak, Damian Moskalewicz), together with co-authors from other institutions, explored the behavior of the last Pleistocene ice sheet at the northern edge of Poland.It will come as no surprise […]
