17th Young Geomorphologists’ Workshops – Lublin 2026
Another edition of the Young Geomorphologists’ Workshops (pol. Warsztaty Młodych Geomorfologów), the seventeenth so far, is behind us. The event is organized by the Polish Association of Geomorphologists (pol. Stowarzyszenie Geomorfologów Polskich), including its Commission for Innovative Research Methods in Geomorphology (pol. Komisja Innowacyjnych Metod Badań w Geomorfologii, KIMB), and it consistently attracts a large […]
First PAGES PaleoIMAGING Workshop at the University of Gdańsk
Geological archives are a valuable source of information about past climate and environmental change. Modern research methods make it possible to read the information stored in them in ever greater detail. However, achieving a temporal resolution that allows us to analyze changes occurring on the scale of individual years or decades—time frames that are particularly […]
Research visit in Great Britain – Aleksandra Orłowska
From the September 16th to the 24th, Aleksandra Orłowska traveled to the United Kingdom, where she completed two short-term research internships. The first took place at the University of Exeter. At the Wildfire Lab, under the supervision of Claire Belcher and Sara Baker, Aleksandra conducted experiments using a microcalorimeter, burning samples of plants belonging to […]
11th Workshop on Dating Methods – Gliwice
On September 17–18, our master’s students Anastazja Mastylak and Maja Łaska took part in the 11th Workshop on Dating Methods in Memory of Prof. Mieczysław F. Pazdur (pol. XI Warsztaty Metod Datowania im. prof. Mieczysława F. Pazdura), held at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. Over two days of intensive training, the two students […]
Piotr Woźniak at Postglacial Fault Symposium – Finland

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 […]
