Department of Climate Geology

The Department of Climate Geology carries out the following expert research:

Quaternary stratigraphy and paleogeography studies;
reconstruction of climatic and paleoenvironmental changes in the Pleistocene and Holocene using palynological, micropaleontological, malacological and isotopic analysis;
analysis of glacial an periglacial processes in past and modern environments;
geomorphology analysis based on the field and Digital Elevation Model;
aeolian processes in the Quaternary;
geoarchaeology, including the impact of climate change on the development of civilizations;
micromorphology of the surface of quartz grains;
sedimentological analysis of Quaternary sediments;
application of magnetic susceptibility anisotropy in Quaternary sediments;
application of GIS in geology and geomorphology;
weathering processes on micro and macro scales;
geohazards, including documentation of current and potential mass movements;
geological mapping,
capabilities in the interpretation of: thin plates, SEM, DEM images, palynological diagrams, recognition of Quaternary micro and macrofauna, interpretation of geochemical and isotopic results.
