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.

When ice disappears, new coastlines are born

We have great news for all those who are planning to publish a scientific book. On Friday, 14 March 2015, Ordinance No. 65/2025 of the Rector of the University of Wrocław concerning the possibility of obtaining funding from the Rector’s Fund for publishing with WUWr came into force. The University of Wrocław Press has already prepared an iconography and compiled the most important information summarising the changes to the regulations on support for publications from the Rector’s Fund.

Belonochilus numenius, recorded in Wrocław and Legnica, is a species of bug native to North America that has been spreading rapidly in Europe for several years. It was spotted by our student!

Two important events related to the topic of children’s literature are ahead of us.

On children’s literature at the University of Wrocław

In their research on the biological role of the seed mucus coat, dr hab. Agnieszka Kreitschitz from the Department of Plant Development Biology at the University of Wrocław and prof. Stanislav Gorb from the
University of Kiel (Germany), saw for the first time the exact structure of the mucus at the nanoscale and tested the hypothesis, which had been repeated for years, of the supporting role of mucus in the spread of seeds eaten by animals. Seed mucus as a natural hydrogel is used, among other things, in the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in bioengineering and medicine.

Recent research has focused on Gaia22dkvLb, a newly discovered exoplanet found through microlensing by an international team of scientists, of which mgr Przemysław Mikołajczyk from the Atronomical Institute at the University of Wrocław, is a member. The exoplanet Gaia22dkvLb can also be observed using the radial velocity measurement technique – something rarely achievable for these microlensing worlds.
