Geologist at Uni. Silesia in Katowice (Poland) focus on active tectonics, mountains geomorphology, speleology
Last week, I had the pleasure of organizing in the #Tatra Mts. 59 Polish speleological symposium. Inspiring invited lectures, great talks, and most importantly, discussions in the field where we shared the last decade of our research😁I am happy we could award 4 #ECR grants

Not only do speleothems make caves enjoyable! Textbook hypogene morphology in Brzozowa #cave in the Polish Jura upland: cupolas, feeders, ghostrock.

Discovering unknown… love it
August in the Northern Calcarouse Alps, the Göll massif.
Oh, btw, the new #cave passages are on the N-S #fault which I described here: doi.org/10.2113/2024...

Visiting Cork County 🇮🇪☘️ was a real structural #geology feast🤩
I’ll start with #boudinage, the extensional structure of a rigid layer is stretched and deformed between less competent surroundings.

2h on Crete and already such a beauty 🤩
Surface rupture of the Lastros Fault doi.org/10.1016/j.te...
We are heading even further east to look for more of those that have not been studied, and of course look for some deformation in caves

84 caves in 6 weeks from easy walking through vertical squeezes to crawling in bugs. All between teaching, supervising graduates, admin, and PI duties. Quite a logistics🥵 Today I finished #fieldwork for #antropopression on #cave in #Nature2000 areas of the Polish Jura. I’m tired

On today's #FridayFault I found beautiful slickensides in the Między Sosnami Cave, Polish Jura. The #cave has a #gravitational origin, despite being in limestone. Few generations of broken flowstone imply its repeated reactivation. With <50km from LGM my first guess is forebulge

fruitful week in the #caves of the Drama Basin, Greece. We found some bedrock deformations, broken speleothems, and massive collapses. Now it's time to deal with the samples. 24 samples from 5 caves, sounds like a promising start to Bahadir's PhD project

Finally, after a 6-month visa battle, we started collecting data for Bahadir's PhD, part of the Sonata BIS @NCN_PL project. In Peristerionas #cave, 500m from the Drama Basin #fault🇬🇷, we measured and sampled bunch of open #fractures and destroyed (sheared and compressed) speleothems

Today, we trekked up to Toba waterfall: amazing wild forest, fantastic landscape, and because we had to walk through an cold river up to our thighs there were no other tourists (rare these days). Martvili region; Georgia 🇬🇪
