Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences
Collegium Geographicum and Collegium Geologicum are located next to the Morasko Meteorite Reserve where lumps of iron were found and are treated as evidence of the largest European iron meteorite shower.
Teaching and research cover both terrestrial geography and the environmental impact of human agency.
The depth of research is reflected in the structure of Faculty: Institute of Geoecology and Geoinformation – is an interdisciplinary team of researchers studying the evolution and dynamics of the geographical environment in the Quaternary.
The scientific activity of the staff engage primarily in:
- reconstructions, on the basis of deposits and landforms, of the state and transformations of the geographical environment in the Quaternary, and
- studies of the structure and dynamics of present-day geoecosystems as a basis for a reconstruction of their past and a forecast of their change
Apart from this, studies have been carried out for years in the polar and subpolar zones of the northern and southern hemispheres (Spitsbergen, the South Shetlands).
