High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia, October 5–7, 2023
These workshops focused on subfossil remains of Cladocera in lake sediments – as an important type of proxies in paleolimnology – have emerged from scientific activities of Finnish and Polish colleagues and a close cooperation between them. Atte Korhola organized the first workshop
in Helsinki in 1999 and for a long time, these meetings have been initiated by Kaarina Sarmaja-Korjonen (University of Helsinki) and Krystyna Szeroczyńska, nowadays Edyta Zawisza (Institute
of Geology, Polish Academy of Sciences). Their original, and still very important, purpose was learning to identify Cladocera remains and sharing the knowledge between starting and experienced colleagues. Currently, there are always oral and poster presentations, a microscopic (determination) session, and an excursion. The topics have broadened, but the character of the workshops remains informal and friendly.
Topic range
- Subfossil Cladocera – qualitative and quantitative paleo-reconstructions
- Cladocera taxonomy and ecology
- Methodology – current trends and best practices
Overviews:
- Subfossil Cladocera remains in paleolimnology – from the beginnings to current challenges
- Limnological and paleolimnological studies in the area of the Tatra Mountains (Slovakia, Poland)
- History of SF Cladocera workshops
