I'm Soil Scientist and Geographer. I got position at the University in 1999. Currently I'm Assistant Professor in the Department of Soil Science and Landscape Management at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. My researches are connected with following issues: classification of soils, technogenic soils (SUITMAs – soils of urban, industrial, traffic, mining and military areas). I'm member of Soil Genesis, Classification and Cartography Commission of Polish Soil Science Society - from 2009, ongoing. I co-translated all three editions of World Reference Base for Soil Resources (1998, 2006/2007, 2014/2015 {in press}) into Polish. I am NCU Faculty of Earth Sciences Erasmus+ Coordinator. I'm also secretary of the Regional Committee of the Geographical Olympic Games in Toruń. More about Me HERE
