Welcome to the work place of Team 7!
The Study Area: Upper Skawa
The Skawa River, a picturesque mountain waterway, embarks on its journey at an elevation of 700 metres, winding its way through 96 kilometres of diverse terrain and draining a substantial 1160 square kilometres before joining the Vistula River.
Our focus lies specifically on the river's upstream catchment, a region characterized by its mountainous landscape and relatively compact size. The smaller dimensions of this catchment translate to a rapid response time, making it a dynamic and intriguing area for study. Here, heavy and recurrent rainfall is a defining feature, resulting in the frequent occurrence of flash floods. Navigating the complexities of this unique environment poses a significant challenge, one that requires a comprehensive understanding of various events and their behaviors.
The Team
Heading our multidisciplinary team are our esteemed supervisors, Professors Pawel GILEWSKI and Grzegorz SINICYN, from the prestigious Warsaw University of Technology. With their guidance and wealth of expertise, we embark on a mission to delve into the intricacies of the Upper Skawa River catchment. Over the next few months, they will be supporting our 12-member team in this challenging experience.
Our diverse team is representing various corners of the world. To learn more about the individual strengths and backgrounds of each team member, we invite you to explore our "Members" tab. There, you will find a comprehensive overview of our diverse backrounds and the unique perspectives that contribute to the success of our collective effort.
Let's start this exciting journey, ready to demonstrate that our diverse team can rise to the occasion and be the best in our mission to understand and mitigate the challenges posed by the Upper Skawa River's catchment dynamics.
