Brief overview of the event<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Peribaltic Working Group (PWG) is an informal regional group of researchers active in various fields of Quaternary science. It is a regional group of researchers from 12 countries within the extent of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet during the Quaternary, comprising around 100 scientists. The main focus of the group\u2019s activities is the annual field meetings organised in different countries. This year, the meeting, entitled \u201cGlacials and interglacials of the Middle and Upper Pleistocene in central Poland\u201d, took place from June 28 to July 3, in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, central Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, 62 participants from twelve countries took part. The main organizers of the conference were representatives of the University of Gda\u0144sk, the University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and the Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University in Lublin, in collaboration with the Association of Polish Geomorphologists. On June 28, participants began to arrive and started their discussions during an ice-breaker party and dinner at the Training and Conference Centre of the University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. The following day featured a session of oral presentations and posters, during which 20 papers were presented and 27 posters were displayed. The fieldwork component of the conference took place from June 30 to July 3. On the first day of the fieldwork, the following topics were presented: \u2018The edge zone of the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Plateau with periglacial relief transformation: the case of dry valleys and dells\u2019 and \u2018An example of Neo-Holocene landscape transformation\u2019. The first day of the field trip ended at the Owad\u00f3w\u2013Brzezinki site \u2013 the exceptionally well-preserved Late Jurassic ecosystem of Owad\u00f3w\u2013Brzezinki, Central Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day (July 1st), the participants visited two open-cast mines: Szczerc\u00f3w-Be\u0142chat\u00f3w (Be\u0142chat\u00f3w Open-Cast Mine) and Zarzecze. At the former, discussions centred on glaciations during the Middle Pleistocene and interglacial successions. At Zarzecze, fluvial and eolian sedimentary successions were presented, along with evidence of permafrost and palaeosols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 2nd (Thursday) was devoted to the Pleistocene glacial flood deposits visible in the cliff outcrops above the Jeziorko Reservoir in Siedl\u0105tk\u00f3w, and to methods of managing and utilising the post-mining areas of the Adam\u00f3w Lignite Mine. July 3rd (Friday) was spent at the \u2018Tomis\u0142awice\u2019 lignite mine, north of Konin. In this extensive outcrop, it was possible to observe several levels of glacial till, ranging from two clay layers from the Main Stage of the last glaciation through to three successive glacial units formed during earlier glaciations. An additional point of interest at this site was the presence of several levels of periglacial structures and a well-developed glacilimnic succession. The final field trip stop was the geoarchaeological site of the medieval stronghold at Tum and the Warsaw-Berlin Proglacial Valley. The conference concluded at its starting point, in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
