Sedimentary Geology – lithic clasts in Rzucewo
The morphology of clasts conceals a great deal of information about the past of various depositional environments and their phenomena. In their latest publication, Łukasz Elwirski and Piotr Woźniak used material from the Rzucewo cliff. The authors analyzed the variation in the lithology and morphology of gravels carried by dense subaquatic flow to understand better […]
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity – peat dating
Determining the age of geological material is a fundamental issue for reconstructing environmental changes. A recent article co-authored by Sambor Czerwiński compares different models used in dating peats by lead (Pb-210 isotope). Independent methods verified dating results: radiocarbon (C-14) and plutonium isotopes (Pu-239+Pu-240). The study was conducted on different peatlands, analyzing how the Pb-210 isotope […]
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 […]
