Professor Dorota Nalepka
Professor Emeritus
Research interests
- Palynological studies of younger quaternary (mainly late glacial and Holocene) biogenic sediments aimed at determining the changes in vegetation under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors (Kujawy, central Poland; Niepołomice Forest, southern Poland).
- Palynological studies of fossil organic layers of earthen fill lodging in archaeological excavations (e.g., Podłęże near Kraków, Kraków – Wawel Hill).
- Development of POLPAL software for electronic archiving as well as graphical and numerical processing of palynological data.
- Processing of natural data using the proprietary POLPAL software; selection of options (computational and graphic) for the content-optimal solution of specific environmental problems.
- Isopollen mapping.
