Nature Research Centre’s scientist Dr Gražyna Kluczynska on a scientific visit in Warsaw under the Lithuania–Poland Academies of Sciences Cooperation Programme

On 1–5 December, NRC researcher of the Laboratory of Quaternary Research Dr Gražyna Kluczynska carried out a scientific visit to the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw as part of the bilateral cooperation and exchange programme between the Lithuanian and Polish Academies of Sciences. The aim of the visit was to broaden knowledge and improve practical skills in the analysis, identification, and interpretation of subfossil Cladocera remains. As subfossil Cladocera research in Lithuania is a newly developing field, the visit provided an important opportunity to acquire essential methodological expertise in consultation with leading experts in the field, such as Dr. Edyta Zawisza and others. During the visit, particular attention was devoted to issues of taxonomic identification, data processing and visualisation methods, as well as the use of subfossil Cladocera data in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The experience and knowledge gained will serve as a valuable contribution to ongoing palaeoecological research.

The scientific visit was highly beneficial both for strengthening professional competencies and for enhancing interinstitutional cooperation. It laid a solid foundation for long-term collaboration and further development of joint scientific research.
