I'm soil scientist, but my background is geography. I started my work at Nicolaus Copernicus University in 1998. At present, I’m assistant professor in the Department of Soil Science and Landscape Management, Faculty of Earth Science NCU. My main scientific interests are: classification, genesis and geography of soils (especially salt-affected soils), landscape geochemistry and hydrochemistry. I got my habilitation in 2014 in the field of Earth science. The habilitation thesis was entitled: "Genesis, properties and systematics position of brackish marsh soils in the Baltic coastal zone". My main teaching subjects are: Chemistry of the Earth, Soil science and soil geography, Hydrochemistry, Computer techniques in soil science, Geochemistry of the landscape and Global soil resources. I'm a Chairman of Bydgoszcz-Toruń branch of Polish Soil Science Society (since 2015) and a member of the jury of the Regional Geographical Olympic Games (since 2007).

Participation in research and educational projects:

• NCN Nr DEC-2012/07/B/ST10/04080 "What factors: techno- or geogenic can cause magnetic and geochemical anomalies in sediments in the Vistula River estuary (Baltic Sea)? (contractor; 2013-2016).
• N N305231135 – Influence of environmental conditions on spatial and temporal differentiation of salt marshes in the gradient of Baltic salinity (general contractor; 2008-2011).
• N N306 282935 – Late-Vistulian and Holocene basin sediments as a record of palaeogeographic changes in selected examples from the young-glacial area of North-Central Poland (contractor; 2008-2011).
• 3 P04G 04225 – Multiaspect studies of salt-affected soils in Poland with special regard to their rational use and protection (general contractor; 2003-2005).
• COST Action FA0901 “ Putting halophytes to work – from genes to ecosystems” (2009-2012)
• LiFES - Lingua Franca for European Soils – LLP Erasmus (2013-2014, instructor).
