ELENA YAZYKOVA
Ph.D., professor of UO
Main study areas:
- Late Cretaceous (biostratigraphy, palaeontology, palaeoecology, event stratigraphy, palaeobiogeography).
- My main investigations focus on the European regions (Poland, Netherlands) and Far East Russia (Chukotka, Sakhalin and Kuril Islands, Amur area)
- My main interest is with ammonites, but I also work with some other groups like inoceramids, echinoids, belemnites and others

ADAM BODZIOCH
Ph.D., professor of UO
Main study areas:
- Muschelkalk (lithology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, sedimentology, diagenesis). My investigations focus on the Upper Silesia region in southern Poland.
- Bone accumulations (sedimentology, diagenesis, paleontology). Recently I work on Lower Triassic accumulations at Gogolin and on Upper Triassic accumulations at Krasiejów and other localities in Silesia.
