Just outside the town of Wagrowiec, in the Paluki region of Poland two rivers cross at a right angle and the waters of each go their own way without mixing This rare phenomenon occurs nowhere else in Europe and in only one other place in the world The Welna and Niebla rivers meet at a concrete weir where the bodies of water go into a whirlpool motion that keeps the two streams separate before continuing on their way in their own riverbeds Only 10 to 15 percent of the waters mix during this time It seems appropriate this unique watery wonder be found in Paluki which is nicknamed “the land of 130 lakes.” The surrounding area must be flat for the phenomenon to occur and the weir was installed amid the region's farmland as part of a deliberate manipulation of the two rivers to improve farming conditions in the area The town wanted to streamline the flow of the Welna to make it more helpful with local irrigation and reduce flooding The strategy was to cross it with the Niebla a smaller river that was redirected south to help relieve the Welna of surplus water this time joining each other on their way to Legowskie Lake Analysis of the biological content of the waters of both rivers on both sides of the crossing have shown that they remain mostly the same from before the bifurcation to the second meeting as they approach the lake.  An unnatural lake in a naturally

College of Computing and Information Sciences presents a compelling reflection on how both the past and present shape our understanding of identity Through evocative images of the Polish landscapes his ancestors left over 130 years ago Tomaszewski invites viewers to explore themes of migration and memory millions were forced to leave Poland due to political and cultural oppression With the support of a prestigious Fulbright scholarship Tomaszewski spent nine months (2023–2024) in Poland applying spatial data science to understand the ongoing forced migration of Ukrainian refugees into Poland after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 This experience led him to reimagine his own ancestral history of displacement tracing the paths his relatives once walked through the landscapes described in 19th-century historical documents but this exhibit captures the echoes of the past through the places they left behind This exhibit is a blend of historical geography and personal reflection It examines how the past continues to shape the present and explores the lives of those who stayed behind after Tomaszewski's ancestors departed It also serves as a poignant reminder of how issues of migration and displacement—whether 130 years ago or today—remain strikingly relevant in Geography from Penn State University and has been a faculty member at RIT for 16 years
