 - Various aspects of geotourism

Recent Research Activities:

1/ Response of benthic foraminifera to mid-Cretaceous oceanic anoxic events (OAE1d and MCE) in deep-water environments of the Western Tethys (2017-2022); Project OPUS12 (No UMO-2016/23/B/ST10/01731) founded by National Science Centre, Poland (NCN) - see more information: EN or PL

2/ Climate-environmental deteriorations during greenhouse phases: Causes and consequences of short-term Cretaceous sea-level changes; Project IGCP 609

3/ Age and palaeoenvironment of the youngest sediments of the High-Tatric Unit in the Tatra Mountains and their relation to oceanic anoxic events (2012-2015); Project OPUS1 (No UMO-2011/01/B/ST10/07405) founded by National Science Centre, Poland (NCN).

4/ Palaeoclimate interpretations of the Jurassic and Cretaceous Tethyan environments using microfacies, microfossils and geochemical indices

5/ Educational significance of geosites around the Tatra Mountains

6/ Origin of red soils covering weathered limestones at the Cracow Upland based on interdyscyplinary studies

7/ Redeposited Paleogene and Neogene coal particles in marine environments
