Natural rhythms of climate variability and anthropopressure (anthropopressure will not overcome the natural rhythms of climate variability) Open
The transformations of the Earth’s atmosphere have always been conditioned by cosmic-astronomical factors and natural “life processes of the Earth.” Human pressure has been increasing for several thousand years, but only in the last three …

The role of oxygen in the functioning of the Earth system: past, present and future Open
In the Solar System, the coming into existence of a peculiar, fully developed atmosphere on Earth was determined by the ‘Great Oxidation Event’ at the turn of the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic. Within about 600 million years, there were large…

Optically stimulated luminescence techniques applied to the dating of the fall of meteorites in Morasko Open
Geological materials used for luminescence dating and associated with the fall of meteorites on the Earth’s surface are extremely rare. The Morasko region has gained fame over the past 100 years because of a cosmic catastrophe which took p…

The crust structure of the Morasko meteorite – a preliminary hypothesis Open
A small piece of the Morasko meteorite, weighing 970 g, yields traces of its journey through the Earth’s atmosphere and of its impact into a mineral substrate, such as reflected in the meteorite’s crust. This is seen in the crust structure…

Dating the Morasko meteorite fall by natural thermoluminescence of the fusion crust Open
The date of fall of the Morasko iron meteorite was determined by means of thermoluminescence measurements of the fusion crust and related local materials. Three small pieces, commonly referred to as ‘shrapnel’, were used. The results obtai…

The extraterrestrial matter falls in west-central Poland (Great Poland Lowland); historical and geological data Open
Direct and indirect evidence of falls of extraterrestrial matter in west-central Poland (Great Poland Lowland) is proved historically and environmentally. The chronological list of such events has historical (documents, medieval paintings,…
