Education
My studying included 5 years education. Between others I had key subjects connected with geological aspects as follows:
- MARINE GEOLOGY (lecture + exercises)
- SEDYMENTOLOGY (lecture + exercises)
- GEOPHYSICS (lecture + exercises)
- Protection of marine coast (exercises)
- Minerals of seas and oceans (lecture)
- Structure and development of geodynamic marine coast (lecture)
In addition I had:
On second year - practice on Hel peninsula and aboard vessel (it lasted 4 days), (there were geological, chemical and physical practices – collecting cores sediments, determination: nutrients, temperature, Eh in marine waters, used CTD-sond, determination of optical properties marine waters)
On third and fourth year – practice aboard vessel in Gulf of Gadnsk (each practice lasted half an month) - collecting cores sediment, collecting water with bathometr, using CTD-sond, determination of nutrients, oxygen, temperature, water filtering, drying sediments and others.
Abstract of diploma (connected with marine bottom)
Subject of my final project (diploma) was: Ammonia fluxes across water-sediment in eastern part of Southern Baltic Sea. Sediment cores were collected from board Baltica at 26 sites in the Southern Baltic (mainly Gdansk Basin with Gulf of Gdansk) in September 2000, April 2001 and June 2002 using Nemisto (silty sediments) or Reineck (sandy sediments) sampler. Bottom waters were recorverd. Sediments were divided into sections and then used high speed centrifugation to recover intersitial waters. In bottom and intersitial waters there were determined: ammonia, redox, temperature (only bottom waters) and salinity (only bottom waters). Sediment were dried to determine ignition loss (LOI%) and water content (W%). Ammonium fluxes were calculated using Fick’s first law.
On the basis of sediment water content (W%) and loss on ignition (LOI%) in 5 cm of top sediment, there were distinguished two types of bottom in study area: erosion bottom and transport - accumulation bottom (T/A). The highest values of ammonia concentration and ammonia fluxes were in T/A (W>50%, LOI>4%). There was characteristic exponential increase of ammonia concentration downwards in the sediment depth profile. In erosion type of bottom (W<50%, LOI<4%), were the lowest values of ammonia fluxes and ammonia concentration with irregular profile shape in the sediment. Probably it was caused by turbulent flushing of nutrients from sarface sediments during Baltic periodic storm (winter-autumn). Only in areas under anthropogenic influance these parameters were higher.
Ammonium fluxes calculated using Fick’s first law were always in the direction from the sediment into the water column and differed significantly with respect to bottom type. Median values from ammonium fluxes in erosion bottom and T/A bottom were highest in September of 2000 and equalled respectively: 1,48 i 8,24 tonnes NH4+ km-2 year-1. In erosion bottom (April of 2001) were observed almost 12 times less fluxes than in September of 2000, while in T/A bottom differences weren’t higher than 1,5 times. On the basis of the calculated diffusive ammonium fluxes from September of 2000, it was estimated that from erosion bottom and T/A bottom was removed respectively: 3407 and 21763 tonnes N year-1. In next season (April of 2001) was removed respectively: 279 and 18089 tonnes N year-1.
