Visit of Dr. Estela Nadal Romero

From May 9 to 10, at the invitation of prof. Wojciech Zgłobicki was hosted at the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management by Dr. Estela Nadal Romero (Instituto Pirenaico de Ecologia, Spain), an internationally recognized geographer and geomorphologist. Dr. Romero presented a paper during an open meeting for employees and students entitled: "Badlands: from science to geotourism". In it, she presented the results of many years of research she had conducted in the Spanish badlands. She indicated the typology and dynamics of geomorphological processes shaping these specific areas. Issues related to ways to limit the rate of degradation of badlands areas as well as the possibilities of their geotourist use were discussed. After the presentation, there was a discussion attended by, among others, prof. Irena A. Pidek, prof. Jean Poesen, prof. Wojciech Zglobicki.

The next day, Dr. Romero took part in a field trip, during which employees of the Institute of Earth and Environmental Sciences presented the results of research on the processes shaping the loess gorges of the western part of the Nałęczów Plateau. Dr. Romero's visit creates an opportunity to develop cooperation between the Faculty and Institutes and the Spanish research institute.
