Dear Colleagues,
The Editorial team of Quaternary is happy to announce the winner of the Best Poster Award at the IPA-IAL Meeting 2018: Unravelling the Past and Future of Lakes, held in Stockholm (Sweden) on June 18th–21st. The Best Poster Award was resolved by an evaluation committee formed by Editorial Board Members of the journal.
The award has been granted to Mr. Daniel Vondrák (Institute for Environmental Studies, Charles University, Czech Republic), whose poster was titled: Multi-proxy evidence of the abrupt 8.2 ka paleoclimatic event from a small mountain lake in the Czech Republic. Daniel’s work is supervised by Dr. Jolana Tátosová and Prof. Evžen Stuchlík, and focused on tracking past environmental changes (climate, acidification, ecosystem disturbances and recovery) using Quaternary lake sediments.
Mr. Vondrák will be awarded 200 CHF in recognition of the quality and scientific significance of the work presented in the conference. We congratulate him for his accomplishments.
