We cordially invite for the seminar entitled .„Mangrove ecosystems in Indonesia and their multi-method study using palaeolimnological, geochemical and mineralogical proxies”, to be given by Mirza Hanif Al Falah, MSc. from Universitas Diponegoro (Semarang, Jawa Tengah). The seminar will be held in the IGS PAS Warsaw Research Centre on 24.10.2024 (Thursday) at 10:00 a.m. (6th floor lecture hall).
We are pleased to welcome the PhD student from Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP, Semarang, Jawa Tengah): Mirza Hanif Al Falah, from the CPalim (Cluster of Paleolimnology) research group led by prof. Tri Retnaningsih Soeprobowati for his study visit in IGS PAS.
Mirza is engaged in bioecological research of mangrove ecosystem. He studies several Indonesian sites (Sumatra, Java, Bali) and is implementing the project "Neo and Paleoecology of Mangrove Ecosystems In Pariaman, Java, and Bali as A Basis for Sustainable Mangrove Ecosystem Management", under the Sandwich-like program and a memorandum (MoU) between UNDIP and IGS PAN and University of Warsaw (Faculty of Geology. As part of the scientific visit to Poland, he will learn geochemistry (including Scanning Microscopy and X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy) and mineralogy (qualitative and quantitative phase analysis based on Powder X-Ray Diffraction, the Rietveld method, and TOPAS software), in order to enrich the overall (paleo)limnological research and geochemical-mineralogical proxies. His research in Poland is supervised by Marta Wojewódka-Przybył, Ph.D., Łukasz Kruszewski, prof. IGS PAS Ph.D., (IGS PAS, Warsaw Research Centre) and Paweł Rydelek, hab. Ph.D. (Department of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, WGUW).
We kindly invite for the inaugural lecture of the 2024/2025 academic year in the GEOPLANET Doctoral School co-led by the IGS PAS.
Inauguration will be held in a hybrid mode on Thursday, October 17th, 11:00am in Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (ul. Bartycka 18, Warsaw) and online on Zoom:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86238884172?pwd=bwP1QNeMh7zzJZJuOzaAMn1rlK79ko.1
The inaugural lecture "Bringing multiple disciplines together to inform ocean governance across scales" will be given by Dr. Karen Evans (CSIRO, Tasmania)
More details are in the attached poster and on the school's website. Abstract and short bio of the speaker are also given below.
Abstract: For policy and decision making at national, regional and international scales to support sustainability, decisions need to be based on robust science and evidence. Connecting science with policy and decision making requires bringing multiple disciplines together to ensure that information is integrated and considers interactions between physical, chemical and socioecological components of the ocean within the context of the one health concept. This lecture will outline some initiatives that are working to connect ocean science with national and international governance structures and considering delivery pathways from ocean observations to data management to data products to information transfer.
Dr Evans is a principal research scientist with CSIRO based in Hobart, Tasmania. She leads and contributes to research focused on progressing scientific understanding of marine resources and achieving effective ocean management, particularly in relation to fisheries offshore wind energy development and threatened, endangered and protected species. Her projects deliver strategic research to national agencies, regional programmes in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and international agencies, including the United Nations. She currently co-chairs the Global Ocean Observing System expert panel on biology and ecosystems and co-leads the group of experts guiding the United Nations regular World Ocean Assessment process.
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.
