Assistant Professor Radek Tichavský
Environmental Geography at the Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava in Czech Republic
Title of Presentation: Dendrogeomorphic research in subsidence areas caused by coal mining
Radek Tichavský received his Ph.D. degree in Environmental Geography at the Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava in Czech Republic where he currently works as the assistant professor. His research is based on dating of geomorphic processes (landslides, debris flows, rockfalls, gully erosion etc.) using dendrogeomorphic methods. He is also interested in climate triggering and preparatory factors of natural hazards and negative role of humans to dynamics of geomorphic processes, such as mining-induced subsidence.
Assistant Professor Eliza Płaczkowska
Polish Academy of Sciences – researcher at the RWTH Aachen University
Title of Presentation: Anthropogenic impact on solute fluxes in a headwater catchment in Western Germany
Eliza Płaczkowska holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. She is an assistant professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences and a guest researcher at the RWTH Aachen University. Her main research is focused on hydro-geomorphological processes and hydrogeological mechanisms of headwater areas. She is currently studying the impact of deforestation and afforestation on solute fluxes in headwater areas of the temperate climate.
Assistant Professor Karol Tylmann
Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology, University of Gdańsk
Title of Presentation: Dating deglaciation with in-situ cosmogenic nuclides
Karol Tylmann holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. He is an assistant professor at the Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology, University of Gdańsk. His main research is focused on reconstructing glacial chronologies based on cosmogenic nuclides dating. He also studies dynamics of the Baltic Ice Stream complex based on geomorphological investigations of the Baltic seafloor. In 2023 Karol started a new research project funded by the National Science Centre in Poland: “A multiple in-situ cosmogenic nuclides approach to dating erratics within the southern fringe of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (DatErr 2.0)”.
