The next Summer School of Karst and Speleology as part of the Arqus Solidarity with Ukraine project began on 21 July. Throughout the week, archaeological and palaeontological excavations will be carried out in the Reindeer Cave, accompanied by geomorphological and geological studies of the cave sediments. In addition, field trips will be organised to show participants selected archaeological, palaeontological and geomorphological sites in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The field trips will include the Ojców National Park, Wodąca Valley, Zborów Mountain and their local caves.
The lectures will be given by prof. Krzysztof Stefaniak, dr Urszula Ratajczak-Skrzatek, dr Artur Sobczyk, Aleksandra Kropczyk and Karol Karbowski. The lectures and practical classes will cover topics such as: “Metodyka badań paleontologicznych i archeologicznych” (eng.
