We cordially invite you to an open lecture by Professor Helena Alexanderson (Faculty of Geology, Lund University, Sweden) entitled: "The Scandinavian Ice Sheet during MIS 3 - a sedimentological journey through Sweden, with a detour into Norway", organized as part of the project "International partnerships with leading research institutions (IDUB)" and this year's International Geomorphology Week. The lecture will be held hybridly, as part of the Scientific Meeting of the Faculty of Geomorphology Earth and Spatial Management (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń), on March 6, 2025 at 11.30 in Auditorium III (Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, ul. Lwowska 1, 87-100 Toruń).

Helena Alexanderson is a professor at Department of Geology, Lund University, Sweden. As a Quaternary geologist she uses geological archives such as sediment, stratigraphies and landforms to reconstruct the ice age environments and use dating methods such as luminescence dating to find out when different events took place. Her main current research projects concern glacial history and ice age environments in northern Sweden and on Svalbard, and aeolian sand, wind activity and storm surges in Sweden. As head of the Lund Luminescence Laboratory she also does research within luminescence dating and is collaborator in several projects from around the world that use luminescence dating.
