X Polar Expedition

In July 2024, the next, tenth polar expedition of the research group took place. The work was carried out in central Spitsbergen at the Petuniabukta Polar Station of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and focused on sampling and environmental measurements. The aim of the research is to identify changes in the chemistry of glacial deposits in the conditions of deglaciation of glacial valleys and to identify the processes that determine the flow of elements in the biosphere and lithosphere system with possible disturbances due to the occurrence of anthropogenic processes. The research was partially financed within the project 120/06/POB3/0001 Excellence Initiative – Research University.
