An article summarising the results of palaeoenvironmental studies carried out in the Jizera Mountains was published in the Catena journal (IF 5.4, 140 points MNiSW). It is devoted to sediments filling the bottoms of river valleys. This made it possible to reconstruct the Holocene environmental changes in the upland areas of the Jizera Mountains, comprehensively supplementing the data from the research on local peat bogs.

Current climate change rapidly reduces the glacier area in the Northern Hemisphere, including marine-terminating glacier areas in the Arctic and subarctic regions. As a result of this process, vast areas of new coastlines that were previously inaccessible to scientists are now being exposed. An international group of scientists from Poland, the Czech Republic, the United States, and Canada has united in an initiative, supported by a grant from the National Science Centre, to address the knowledge gap concerning coastlines that have emerged due to glacial recession in the 21st century.
