On Thursday, December 18, the last scientific seminar of this year was held at our Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology. Our guest was Dominika
How can we better understand the role of peatlands in the Earth system? The answer lies in Peat-DBase v1.0 – the largest and most comprehensive
An article titled “Assessing the usage of flammability experiments and charcoal reflectance for interpreting the late Holocene record of fire” has just been published in
Changes in oxygenation and lake productivity vary over time. One of the most important factors controlling these processes is land cover in the catchment area.
The Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology continues the tradition of geomorphological research in Pomerania initiated in 1959 by Professor Bolesław Augustowski. Successive heads of the geomorphological team were Professors Bogusław Rosa (1970-1996), Roman Gołębiewski (1996-2008) and Stanisław Fedorowicz (2008-2022). Research problems included geomorphological mapping of postglacial landscapes in Poland, issues related to the morphology and development of valley network of Pomerania, investigations of the sedimentary cover of the southern Baltic Sea, issues of Neopleistocene chronostratigraphy using the TL method, as well as paleogeographic studies based on palynological and diatom analyses.
Currently, the head of the Department is Professor Wojciech Tylmann. As a result of the evolution of research problems and the gradual specialization of scientists, two independent research teams have emerged in the structure of the Department: Paleoenvironmental Research Laboratory and Geomorphological Reconstructions Laboratory.
