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 […]
PaleoIMAGING – new PAGES working group
Not long ago, we reported on the special issue of PAGES Magazine dedicated to imaging techniques in paleogeographical research. We are pleased to announce that this was only an introduction to something much bigger. A new working group – PaleoIMAGING – has joined the PAGES network. Its main goal is to develop a coherent system […]
