A short report on the visit of our employee (prof. IGS PAS Łukasz Kruszewski) to Universitas Diponegoro (Indonesia)

The visit, on August 1-18, 2024, stood for the next stage of the recently initiated - thanks to the scientific activity of Dr. Marta Wojewódka-Przybył - research cooperation between the IGS PAS and the Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) of Semarang (Central Java), as part of a memorandum signed with the representative of UNDIP, prof. Tri Retnaningsih Soeprobowati (Fakultas Sains dan Matematika, FSM, and Cluster for Paleolimnology, CPalim).
The visit consisted of:
- lectures by our employee on the potential of mineralogy and geochemistry in (palaeo)limnological research (FSM; School of Postgraduate Studies)
- training in qualitative and quantitative mineralogical analysis (PXRD / Rietveld, TOPAS software) and gas analysis (presentation of the portable GASMET DX4000 system and Calcmet program)
- consultations with students working on various limnological and biological/environmental topics (including participation in the defense of the master's thesis), mainly in the field of publishing and results discussion
- field work (several days of research on oxbow lakes in the Kota Palangkaraya region, Central Borneo, in cooperation with representatives of Universitas Palangkaraya, UPR; research on the Rawa Pening lake, Central Java), including the application of innovative methodology for gas emission research
- lecture at a seminar at the UPR
- participation (a short talk) in the Inauguration of the Newcome Students
- meeting with geologists from UNDIP and insight into their current research problems (including presentation of the possibilities equipment and access to research in Poland) - discussions with botanists from UNDIP in the context of joint research (including implementation of the topic of botanical indicators of carbon environments; application of pedomineralogy in botanical research)

The visit already continues, with a lecture on the "Pit lake from mining and the solution" on 02.09.2024, via Zoom.

We kindly invite for the inaugural lecture of the 2023/2024 academic year in the GEOPLANET Doctoral School co-led by the IGS PAS.

The inaugural lecture, titled “Poles together – missing link between Arctic and Antarctic early Earth record“, will be given by Prof. Monika Kusiak (Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences). The inauguration of the academic year will take place on October 12, 2023 at 11 a.m., at the Institute of Geophysics and online (hybrid event). Please register by filling a short formby October 8th

Prof. Monika Kusiak – professor, geologist, participant and organizer of many polar expeditions, including to Greenland, Labrador and Antarctica. Head of the “Poles together” grant on the study of the oldest rocks on Earth.

We kindly invite for a lecture on 15.05.2023 at 1:00 p.m., entitled "GELSTRAT, an international research program on the Quaternary."Neogene-Quartenary boundary at its type locality, Monte San Nicola, Sicily, Italy", held in IGS PAS Kraków Research Centre lecture hall.

We would like to inform you about the lectures by Prof. Martin J. Head, Brock University, Canada.

The main topic of the lectures includes Anthropocene and Great Acceleration as well as a detailed explanation of the need to formalize the newly proposed unit within the Geological Time scale. During geological and humanities debate on the same topic, we will present the Anthropocene from a geological point of view and discuss this will other scientific groups. All are welcome to join these events. More information you can find below.
