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.

The Border Studies Research Group at the University of Gdansk is an interdisciplinary group of scholars from fields of linguistics, literary studies and theory, history, performance arts, and sociology who share a common interest in the subject of border studies not only in the field's usual connotation signifying a focus on regional, socio- and geo-political issues but also in the broadest of senses which encompasses but is not limited to literary theory, history and emigration studies, spectrality and liminality, intercultural and transnational studies, performance studies, and more.

The research focuses on Greek inscriptions from the Greek cities in Asia Minor in hellenistic times and after, as well as on systematic commenting and issuing of Latin inscriptions from area of Gdańsk Pomerania, Warmia and Mazury.

The aim of the research group is to create a platform for specialists whose research contributes to deepening knowledge about the ways of effective linguistic interaction in various types of discourse, especially scientific-didactic and on-line, in both national and intercultural communication.

The research projects have been focused on: endocrine disruptive chemicals (bisphenol A, 4-tert-octylphenol, 4- nonylphenol); mercury and methylmercury; toxic metals; iron speciation; nutrients; carbon (inorganic and organic forms, black carbon, dissolved and suspended forms); methane; microplastic; photodegradation processes.

Scientific activities of the Department of Marine Geology cover coast, coastal zone as well as open marine water, mainly of the Baltic Sea region, with the main research focus on Quaternary geology, sedimentology, geodynamics, litho- and biostratigraphy.

The main fields of research cover:

• Logistic support system
• Logistics of information
• Modelling  and optimization of logistic processes
• Controlling of logistic activities
• Forecasting in logistics
• Logistic policy and logistic strategies
• Synergy in logistics

Main research area concerns ecology and ecophysiology of avian seasonal migration, particularly migratory strategies of waterbirds and shorebirds within Palearctic. Our studies focus on phenology, stopovering, population composition, intra- and interspecific competition, resource partitioning as well as individual condition based on hematological and physiological measures. Moreover we monitor waterbird populations wintering in the Gulf of Gdańsk (southern Baltic).

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.
