Piotr Woźniak at Postglacial Fault Symposium – Finland
In the last week of August, Piotr Woźniak visited Finland for two purposes. The first was his participation in the recurring PGF (Postglacial Fault) Symposium, held this time in Vaasa and hosted by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK; pol. służba geologiczna Finlandii). He gave a talk at the conference, co-authored a second contribution, and […]

Publication in Biogeosciences – Fe, Mn and paleoredox
A new article by Maurycy Żarczyński, Wojciech Tylmann, and co-authors from Bremen and Sopot has just been published in Biogeosciences. The study looks at the behavior of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn), which are routinely used as indicators of past changes in lake-water oxygenation and water-column mixing intensity. What sets the publication apart is its […]
Workshop at the Experyment Science Centre
Even though it’s summer break, we haven’t put teaching on hold – this time in a slightly different format, and for a younger audience than usual. On August 14–15, Aleksandra Orłowska and our master’s student Anastazja Mastylak led workshops at the Experyment Science Centre (Centrum Nauki Experyment) in Gdynia. The workshops were part of our […]
Publication in Boreas – varves in Argentina
A new paper co-authored by Wojciech Tylmann has appeared in Boreas, focusing on the varved sediments of proglacial Lago Frías in the North Patagonian Andes (Argentina). Radiometric dating, tephra layers and varve counting on computed tomography images yielded a chronology for 1960–2019 and a floating chronology for 1803–1893, separated by a tephra from the 1893 […]
Publication in QSR – Alaskan glaciers
In a new paper published in Quaternary Science Reviews, a team of authors including Maurycy Żarczyński examined Holocene changes in the extent of mountain glaciers in the catchment of Eklutna Lake. Using a broad set of geochemical and sedimentological data together with statistical methods, the team showed that glaciers were relatively small until about 5,500 […]
Interreg Wildfire CE – Alicja Bonk in scientific committee
Alicja Bonk has been invited to join the scientific committee of the Central European Wildfire Symposium, an international meeting to be held on March 17–18, 2027, at TUD Dresden University of Technology (Technische Universität Dresden) as part of the Interreg Wildfire CE project. Interreg Wildfire CE is an international cooperation project aimed at better preparing […]
Publication in CATENA – carbon burial in tropical lakes
We are pleased to announce that a new publication co-authored by Wojciech Tylmann and Paweł Etmański has appeared in Catena. The study focuses on five crater lakes located within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt in Central Mexico and asks how their primary production and organic carbon burial rates have changed over the past century. All five […]
Summer School in Cluj-Napoca (2026)
On 6–10 July 2026, Karol Tylmann and our geography and geology students took part in the annual dendrogeomorphology school held in Romania. The school is slowly becoming a tradition – this was already the third edition! The event, which focuses on dendrogeomorphology and geohazards in mountain environments, is organized mainly by researchers from Babeș-Bolyai University […]
Publication in LUP – model of coastal evolution under tourism pressure
Summer is in full swing. Many of us find ourselves wondering: what if we headed to the Hel Peninsula and stayed at one of the campsites there? It is precisely the history of their development that formed the basis for a model of coastal evolution under tourism pressure, as well as for identifying gaps and […]
