Karol Tylmann

Dr. Karol Tylmann is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology at the University of Gdańsk's Faculty of Oceanography and Geography. He leads research at the Laboratory of Geomorphological Reconstructions, focusing on the dynamics of Pleistocene ice sheets and landscape evolution in Northern Europe.

His research integrates glacial geomorphology, Quaternary stratigraphy, and geochronological methods (e.g., cosmogenic nuclide dating, gamma-ray spectrometry) to reconstruct deglaciation patterns, ice-marginal processes, and sedimentary environments across Poland and the Baltic region. Key themes include:

• Ice sheet behavior during the Last Glacial Maximum and Younger Dryas
• Subglacial deformation mechanisms
• Coastal and fluvial responses to climatic shifts
• Geoheritage conservation in postglacial landscapes

Recent publications (2018–2023) demonstrate a methodological emphasis on high-resolution geospatial analysis (LiDAR, object-based image processing), advanced dating techniques (10Be exposure, Bayesian modeling), and sedimentological diagnostics. Predominant research clusters include glacial landform mapping, deglaciation chronology, and geomorphic responses to paleoenvironmental change.

Dr. Tylmann contributes to geotourism initiatives by evaluating the educational value of Poland's glacial landscapes. He maintains no listed research grants, awards, or supervised students in the available data.
