I am teaching assistant at the Department of Soil Science and Soil protection. My teaching activities are connected with soil science, soil classification and soil geography. I teach courses at undergraduate (Soil science, Applied cartography), graduate (Soil taxonomy, survey and GIS) and doctor (Soil taxonomy) level. My research is focused on digital soil mapping with emphasis on relationship between soil and terrain.

I am member of Czech Society of Soil Science, Czech Academy of Agriculture Sciences and International Union of Soil Science.
