The Loess Biobibliographical project, with some emphasis on Polish investigators

The loess biobibliographical project requires the identification and listing of 100 investigators. The aim is to provide a history of the study of loess via a consideration of the participants in the enterprise. The people are studied in groups of 12: the Original, More, Additional, Further, Last, Extra, Disjunct and Bonus groups. The remaining four slots are to be filled by the reader. In making the Polish connection 14 significant investigators are identified: Dylik, Tokarski, Mojski, Butrym, Maruszczak, Jersak, Jahn, Cegla, Malicki, Sawicki, Rozycki, Ruhle, Manecki, Malinowski; major contributors to Polish loess studies. There are others; the authors offer a subjective (Europe-based) selection. A programme of constant revision will be required.
