Environmental Change Reconstruction Laboratory
In our research group we study past environmental change possible to reconstruct based on lake sediments. We focus on climate-related and human-related changes recorded over the last several thousand years. For correct interpretation of sediment records, we also investigate the conditions of modern sedimentation processes in lakes. We use mainly geochronological, sedimentological, geochemical, and biological methods.
Department of Meteorology and Climatology
Out team study climate variability and change in the area of the Baltic Sea basin and its relationship with global processes. We are also interested in regional processes in the area of the Northern Atlantic and Europe and relationships with local climatic, hydrological and oceanographic conditions. Further we study quantitative and qualitative description of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean on the climatic conditions in Poland, energy and mass streams between the sea surface and the atmosphere and some aspects of historical climatology.
LETG - Sea shore, Environment, Remote sensing, Geomatics
LETG-Brest’s research activities bring together several fields of geography: physical geography, human and social geography, remote sensing and geomatics, in order to study human-nature interactions in coastal and maritime environments.
