A history of the Wrocław Branch of the Polish Geological Society in the years 1970-2021

Abstract

In 2022, the Wrocław Branch of the Polish Geological Society celebrates its 70 jubilee. It was founded in 1951 and has been active since 1952. During the last 50 years, there were organized nearly 700 scientific lectures on widely different geological topics, five full plenary meetings of the Society in the Lower Silesia venues with dedicated field excursions, several thematic conferences (with on-spot field examination) during trips to various outcrops all over the region. Other occasional activities included celebration of the 250th anniversary of Abraham Gottlob Werner's birthday honoured by placing a sandstone triptych commemorative plaque on his family home in Osiecznica near Bolesławiec
