I am a Soil Scientist in the field of both Environmental Sciences and Agriculture. I have been working as a researcher at my University since 1998. I am a member of the Polish Society of Soil Science, International Union of Soil Sciences, Commission on Soil Chemistry at the Polish Society of Soil Science, the Polish Society of Magnesium Science, and subject editor with the board of the Journal of Central European Agriculture (JCEA).

My research majors several fields:

· Content and mobility of trace elements in soils, sediments, plant and animal materials.

· Impact of anthropogenic factors on the condition of the environment and risk assessment resulting from its pollution.

· Pollution assessment and remediation of contaminated areas, especially city and industrial areas.

My teaching interests:

· Soil science, geology, and geomorphology.

· Soil survey and classification.

· Soil protection and remediation.

Research projects:

2017- Assessment of environmental impact and remediation project of the Polish Hunting Association’s outdoor shooting range in Łącko near Pakość. European Funds - The Innovative Economy Operational Programme, The Innovative Economy Operational Programme, Regional Development Fund 2014-2020. (Project leader)

2014 - Developing innovative method to create digital maps of soil fertility and prototype of optimized geoapplication. European Funds – The Innovative Economy Operational Programme, The Innovative Economy Operational Programme, Regional Development Fund 2007-2013. (Project leader)
