😖Ever wonder why we insist that there are NO NATURAL DISASTERS? This will explain 👇 ow.ly/Kfp150RK3Zg #NoNaturalDisasters

Working in academia means not only science but also working with people (students and co-workers). So, I am happy to complete the Academic Leadership Development Program by Two Wings Academy, which gave me not only some skills but first of all an opportunity to meet great people!

May 22, 1960, the strongest #earthquake ever recorded - Mw 9.5 - hits Valdivia in #Chile. 2.300 people killed & 130.000 houses destroyed. 7 hours later the resulting tsunami hits Hawaii and 15 hours later Japan claiming another 1.000 victims tinyurl.com/y3nxzcxh

Yesterday I had the honor of being elected chairman of the Committee of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Polska Akademia Nauk). I sincerely hope that, together with the great team of the committee, we will be able to make a difference for Earth sciences and society

Our new paper (Pieńkowski et al) resulting from CHARME_Antarctica project is available in Limnology And Oceanography Letters (OA): 'Sedimentary ancient DNA and HBI biomarkers as sea-ice indicators: A complementary approach in Antarctic fjord environments' aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

The key figure from our latest paper by Pieńkowski et al. (aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…) summarizing the last century sea ice history of Sheldon Cove near Rothera Station (#Antarctica) using biomarkers (IPSO25 and HBI III) and sedimentary DNA (#sedaDNA)

I also use it in classes for students - it is really great tool!

UAM Poznań naukami o Ziemi stoi! Prof. Zbigniew Zwoliński został przewodniczącym Komitetu Nauk Geograficznych PAN, a mnie dano szansę na przewodzenie Komitetem Nauk Geologicznych PAN. wngig.amu.edu.pl/pracownicy/new…

Our (Sydor et al.) new chapter on geology, sediments, and sedimentological processes in the Polish exploration area of Mid-Atlantic Ridge was just published in "The Natural Environment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - A Case Study of the Potential Mining Site" link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Miałem przyjemność udzielić wywiadu Szymonowi Bujalskiemu z Nauka o klimacie - o geozagrożeniach, zmianach klimatu i roli geologii w ich poznaniu oraz kilku innych tematach : naukaoklimacie.pl/aktualnosci/je… UAM Poznań

We are seeking a post-doc in the project "Arctic Palaeorecords from the Htm: a ROaDmap for Imminent Transitions in marine Ecosystems (APHRODITE)" - interested in working with biomarkers for palaeoceanography in the interdisciplinary team? see: www2.ncn.gov.pl/baza-ofert/?ak…

In trenches, the most exciting staff is usually at the very bottom :). Searching for palaeotsunami deposits in southern Sumatra with Jędrzej Majewski , Robert Jagodziński et al. in frame of Narodowe Centrum Nauki funded project PALEOSUMA (paleosuma.amu.edu.pl)

Under a peaceful rice field in a quiet Sumatran village, with only a cow or two for company, it appears we may have found the signs of a paleotsunami Working with scientists from UAM Poznań and Universitas Syiah Kuala. Supported by Narodowe Centrum Nauki through #PolonezBis3 #Paleotsunami #Sumatra

Come to Poznań (Poland) for the 'Cryospheric Ecosystems conference', 1-4 September 2025 (UAM Poznań). We hope it will be a great opportunity to discuss the glacial systems from the abiotic and biotic points of view in the interdisciplinary forum. See: …-ecosystems-conference.web.amu.edu.pl

Fieldwork in Sumatra wrapped up. From Bintuhan to Semangka Bay in the south. Interesting sites, one of them hiding pumice from the 1883 Krakatau eruption. Most interestingly large sections of the coastline have no paleotsunami record. Very good news for residents, maybe? Narodowe Centrum Nauki

269 years ago the tragic earthquake and tsunami damaged Lisbon and large part of Atlantic Ocean coastline. It is still somehow mysterious for scientist. Some parts of the story we try to read from tsunami deposits in frame of #TSUNASTORM Narodowe Centrum Nauki funded project at UAM Poznań

It is almost 4 years since Geohazards Research Group was formally established within the Institute of Geology, UAM Poznań. You may learn more about our Team and ongoing projects (mainly funded by Narodowe Centrum Nauki ) on geohazards.amu.edu.pl/en/geohazards-…

Twenty years after the Indian Ocean #tsunami. Together with Thai cooperators from the Department of Mineral Resources, we revisited the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand in the frame of Narodowe Centrum Nauki funded project TSUNASTORM. Surachet Saengsawang summarized the fieldwork in a short movie
