This year’s winner of the scholarship of prof. Kacper Rafał Rybicki
This year, the scholarship was awarded to Dr. Anna Łoboda from the Department of Hydrology and Hydrodynamics. This is what she has to say about her scientific plans:
Currently, my area of interest is slightly different than those during my PhD, but they still concern the interactions between water flow, vegetation and river sediment, i.e. broadly understood eco-hydraulics. The research that I am involved in, and I want to develop in the future, focus on researching rivers using remote sensing methods. My goal is to quantify the dynamics of the river bed forms in the form of sand waves under different flow conditions, which will enable the determination of the load-bearing capacity of the river, e.g. with different overgrowth scenarios, also taking into account plant diversity. Moreover, with increasing anthropogenic pressure on rivers and watercourses, this research will also be important for understanding the ecological properties of river streams, especially plant adaptation to diverse habitats where sediment and its deposition play an important role.
New independent researcher at the Department of Polar and Marine Research
Congratulations to Mateusz Moskalik, who obtained the academic degree of associate professor and thus joined the group of independent research workers!
Why Poland, why the Institute?
What makes scientists from distant countries choose Poland and our Institute, what was their scientific path? We are launching a new series, starting with Dr. S. Yaser Moussavi Alashloo from the Department of Geophysical Imaging.
Management’s view
As a follow up of recent 4 – day reporting meeting, we received feedback from our Advisory Board. The team appreciates our work, however, some weaknesses were also pointed out and some recommendations were offered.
