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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Annual barbeque

Although not everyone could join, the team was strong and supported by friends of our unit. We spent Saturday and Sunday enjoying Cuban rhythms, badminton matches, and delicious food. There was […]
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. […]

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.
