In October 2024, a joint field campaign was carried out along the coastal zone of Naxos Island, in the Cyclades, Greece — a collaborative effort between the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and the University of Bucharest (UB) teams. The focus of the research was the Glyfada site, a stunning coastal landscape that […]

A recent field campaign in the Retezat Mountains focused on determining whether the region’s rock glaciers are still active, a crucial indicator in the context of climate change. Rock glaciers are valuable climate archives, as their movement is directly linked to the presence of permafrost, which is one of the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) monitored

As part of the ongoing TRACE project activities, a field campaign was conducted to investigate the landscapes surrounding Lake Tașaul, located on the Casimcea Plateau in Romania. The primary objective was to verify the presence of presumed marine terraces, as suggested by earlier studies. These geomorphological features are valuable paleoindicators of past sea-level changes and

In an effort to uncover the hidden history of the Dobrogea region near the Black Sea, a recent field campaign focused on the internal structure of the Saele and Chituc beach ridge plains. Utilizing ground penetrating radar (GPR), this investigation sought to reveal the secrets embedded within these ancient coastal formations. Beach ridges and their

In May 2024, a groundbreaking field campaign commenced in the Callatis-Beidaud area, marking a significant step forward in our understanding of the region’s paleo-environment. This initiative involved the completion of 200 meters of geo-electric (ERT) profiles and the excavation of five boreholes, each reaching depths of up to 8 meters. These boreholes were meticulously sampled
