Jarosław Waroszewski is a researcher and educator based in Wrocław, Poland. He holds Doctor of Science degree in Earth sciences and environment from the University of Wrocław, where he also earned his Ph.D. in Agriculture sciences, agronomy. His research focuses on stratigraphy, provenance, and the role of thin loess deposits in the evolution of soils in southwestern Poland. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Institute of Soil Science and Environmental Protection at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, where he has been teaching and conducting research since 2012. He has also served as a Post Doc at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich.
He has been involved in several research projects funded by the National Science Center Poland and a scientific exchange program in Switzerland. The ongoing project focuses on studying the denudation of Andosols and landscape development in southeast Iceland using an interdisciplinary approach. Another completed project involved the verification of parent material homogeneity in soils developed from crystalline and sedimentary rocks in the loess-influenced territory of Lower Silesia region. Additionally, he has published several articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as CATENA, Minerals, Journal of Soils and Sediments, and Agronomy. These articles cover topics such as soil denudation events, erosion rates, soil formation, and provenance and paleoenvironmental context of Pleistocene deposits.
In the current project, his main task is to use major and trace element geochemistry techniques to trace the source and weathering of loess and other aeolian sediments in the Quaternary deposits. This research has the potential to identify markers of regional processes and aid in correlating sequences with both local and regional contexts, which will be helpful for the project.
