Małgorzata Witak

Dr hab. Małgorzata Witak, Professor at the University of Gdańsk, is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, affiliated with both the Division of Marine Chemistry and Environmental Protection and Division of Marine Geology. Her research focuses on diatom ecology, mercury pollution dynamics, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions in the Baltic Sea region.

• Key roles: Associate Professor, Head of Laboratory
• Research themes: Diatom-based pollution indicators, Holocene climate variability, sediment geochemistry

Recent publications examine mercury cycling in Puck Bay, storm history reconstruction, and Baltic Sea ecosystem responses to anthropogenic pressures. While no formal awards or students are documented, her work spans interdisciplinary collaborations in marine geology and environmental science.

As Head of Laboratory, she oversees marine sediment and diatom studies, contributing to understanding coastal evolution and ecological resilience.
