Summary: The article examines two examples of restoration in socialist era railway station buildings and monumental art works, focusing on the challenges faced during reconstruction and the stages of restoration and repair. It also highlights a positive example of transferring mosaic art from an old station building to a new minimalist-style station facade in Oswiecim.

Summary: Lateglacial and Holocene aeolian sequences in different sedimentary zones in western-central Poland were analyzed to establish their regional stratigraphical and paleoenvironmental significance. Sedimentological, geomorphological, and absolute dating methods were used to analyze profiles from extraglacial, glaciomarginal, and glaciated zones. The results were correlated with Greenland ice-core chronology. The study found that aeolian deposition started in the Oldest Dryas in the extraglacial zone, Younger Dryas in the glaciomarginal zone, and Younger Dryas in the glaciated zone. Pedogenic processes interrupted aeolian deposition in certain periods. Subatlantic aeolian episodes were induced by human activity and forest fires. The identified periods of aeolian activity and pedogenic processes were consistent with other profiles in Europe.

Summary: This study presents a new stratigraphic and palaeogeographic scheme for the sedimentary environments between Marine Isotope Stages (MISs) 8 and 6, focusing on the role of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) advances and changing climate. Different depositional complexes were distinguished at the Reda site, reflecting the SIS advances and changes in sedimentation styles under varying climate conditions. The study highlights the influence of SIS on landscape reshaping, accommodation space formation, and valley morphology through glacial processes and glacioisostatic movements.

Summary: This paper presents calibrated C-14 dates from key sites in the Polish part of the European Sand Belt and compares them with high-resolution C-14 dates from fluvial-aeolian sediments. The identified pedogenic phases show a delay of 50-100 calendar years after the onset of cool climate conditions during GI-1, indicating a gradual withdrawal of vegetation. The study demonstrates the high sensitivity of the fluvio-aeolian paleoenvironment to climate changes.

Summary: This study presents environmental studies based on analyses of fluvio-aeolian successions with paleosols in central Poland, emphasizing the sensitivity of these successions to climate changes and oscillations. The results also provide insights into the formation of dunes and their correlation with different climatic phases.

Summary: This interdisciplinary study of the Lipowo palaeolake in NE Poland reconstructed environmental changes in the lake ecosystem using biological and geochemical indicators. It identified four cold and four warm climate oscillations, as well as the rare phenomenon of the lake being covered by diamicton deposits from melting dead-ice blocks. The vegetation in the lake area changed from steppe tundra to forest with birch and pine over time, and the lake was mainly oligotrophic during its existence.

Summary: The central part of the European Sand Belt has large dune fields that were formed due to intense aeolian processes during the Lateglacial. This study used high-resolution LiDAR data to analyze 31 stabilized dune fields in Poland and found that the evolution of dune fields in cold areas is similar to those in other climatic zones. The study also revealed the different development patterns of dune fields and the influence of vegetation and sand supply on their transformation.

Summary: This study mapped and analyzed the Bory Stobrawskie Dune Field in southwest Poland to determine factors driving dune evolution, including dune types and spatial patterns. The study found longitudinal zonation within the dune field, similar to low-latitude dune fields, but the evolution of the dune field was non-continuous and multi-phase due to climatically controlled sand supply and changing vegetation cover. The study also found that dense streams controlled the extent of the dune field, with sand trapping limiting expansion and sand supply causing overloading and transformation of the fluvial system into braided rivers.

Summary: In the stratigraphic division of the Saalian in Europe, the Wartanian cold period is shown to have a higher rank as a separate glaciation in MIS 6, while the Odranian period is correlated with MIS 8. The study in eastern Poland reveals distinct periods of climatic cooling associated with the Saalian ice sheets, separated by warm interstadial periods, through analysis of sedimentary succession and fossil soil. This paleoclimatic reconstruction emphasizes the significance of understanding the different glaciations in the stratigraphic schema of the Quaternary.
