Bartosz Budzyń earned his MSc in geology from AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków,
his PhD from the Jagiellonian University, and his DSc (habilitation) from the Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences (IGS PAS). His research focuses on a combination of metamorphic petrology, igneous petrology and experimental mineralogy. He is particularly interested in the compositional/isotopic alteration of commonly used geochronometers (monazite, xenotime, zircon), which, when investigated using micro- to nano-analytical techniques, provide the opportunity to link the age record in mineral domains with specific geological processes and provide new insights into the reconstruction of P-T-t paths.

Research interests:

Metamorphic petrology, igneous petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, experimental mineralogy.

Elwira Sienkiewicz is a professor at the Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences (IGS PAS, since 2019). She graduated from the Faculty of Geology, University of Warsaw. Her scientific interests concern the use of fossil diatoms as environmental indicators, mostly of changes in the water pH and trophic level as well as climate and human activity. She has studied diatoms from the Holocene and Pleistocene sediments from mountain lakes (the Tatra Mts., the Sudetes Mts.), arctic and subarctic lakes (Spitsbergen, Laponia) and paleolakes in northern and central Poland. Additional research has encompassed the analyses of anthropogenic water bodies formed after exploitation of lignite and ceramic clay in the Muskau Arch (the Polish-German border). For reconstructing the water environment in lakes, she also uses elemental analyses (total organic carbon, total organic nitrogen, C/N ratio, sulphur and hydrogen content) and isotopic data (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N).

Ewa Słaby is a Professor of Geochemistry and Petrology at the Institute of Geological Sciences PAS. Her research concentrates on the geochemistry of magmatic and post-magmatic processes. She specializes in geochemical modeling of petrogenetic mechanisms, in fractal statistics used for examining self-organizing complex phenomena, in phase investigations with the use of combined technics and in new methods of visualization of geochemical data. Her current projects are dedicated to early Earth hydrothermal systems development.  

She has served the University of Warsaw (Faculty of Geology) as a Vice-Dean for Students Affairs and as a Vice-Dean for Scientific Affairs, the Mineralogical Society of Poland as a Vice-President, as a Chair of the Committee of Mineralogical Sci. PASci., European Mineralogical Union as a Vice-president, currently President. She also is the Director of IGS PASci. She has many years of experience of work with students and PhD students (8 promoted PhDs), lecturing at Polish (University of Warsaw) and foreign academic centers (including Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Kazakhstan); organizing over 30 workshops with the participation of lecturers from renowned European universities as part of the Socrates-Erasmus program. Work in European and Polish research grants; scientific cooperation with research centers, including France, Germany, India, Japan. 

Research interests:

Antoni (Antek) Tokarski has over 50 years of experience in research involving tectonics and structural geology. His research focuses on a combination of map-scale and exposure-scale tectonic structures. Antek is particularly interested in dating tectonic movements by analyzing deformation bands and applying fractured clasts in gravels and conglomerates for seismic hazard assessment. His main area of interest is Western Outer Carpathians. Antek has been a member of numerous scientific expeditions to West Antarctica, Vietnam, and West African Craton. He has authored or co-authored several dozen peer-reviewed research papers. Antek was the founder and leader of the Galicia Tectonic group, as well as one of the founders of the Central European Tectonic Group. Currently, he is a professor in tectonics at the Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences (retired since 2009).  

Research interests: 

Neotectonics, seismotectonics, structural geology, paleomagnetism, soft-sediment deformation.
