A recipe for efficient management of riverbank filtration sites in a few steps

Members of the research team “Groundwater under human impact” (PhD student Krzysztof Janik and Dr Sławomir Sitek) in co-authorship with Dr Arno Rein (Technical University of Munich) published an article entitled “Towards efficient management of riverbank filtration sites: new insights on river–groundwater interactions from environmental tracers and high-resolution monitoring” in the prestigious journal Hydrology and...

First joint water monitoring campaign under the CRossWATER project

In July 2025, the first water environment monitoring campaign of the CRossWATER project took place in Zgorzelec and Görlitz. With the support of the water supply companies from Görlitz and Zgorzelec, groundwater samples were collected from 40 locations, along with river water samples from the Lusatian Neisse and Czerwona Woda. Fieldwork also included measurements of...

Sandur kettle holes as time capsules

Dr Joanna Szafraniec’s research focused on the kettle holes on Skeiðarársandur (Southern Iceland). Their formation is associated with melting buried ice blocks, broken off from the glacier front during glacial floods (jökulhlaup). These landforms are effective sediment traps for aeolian material, where this material can accumulate. Under the contemporary climate warming, younger depressions (~30 years...

(Polski) Unikatowy nowy minerał odkryty przez naszych Naukowców

An article entitled “Ferrodimolybdenite, FeMo3+2S4 from Daba-Siwaqa, Jordan – the first natural compound of trivalent molybdenum” has been published in Mineralogical Magazine in Open Access. Ferrodimolybdenite was found in a sulfide nodule from the anomalously high-temperature paralava of the Hatrurim Complex, Jordan. Ferrodimolybdenite is the first natural trivalent molybdenum compound. Only the minerals with Mo4+...

Mysteries of Alpine Caves – Evidence of Tectonic Activity

Instrumental studies indicate that the northern part of the Eastern Alps exhibits minimal tectonic activity today, with deformation rates at the limit of detectability. The geological record also shows little evidence on the surface, as erosion outpaces deformation. However, in caves isolated from erosion, even centimeter-scale deformations can be preserved. The 110 km long Königssee–Lammertal–Traunsee...
