Akos blends geology and climatology to explore human-nature interactions at coastal zones for better living and sustainability. He loves studying the past from marine sediments and discovering new proxies that can help to better understand past climatic trends, fluctuations, extreme events (e.g. tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, droughts), or sea-level change in order to better interpret and prepare for future scenarios. He loves working in extreme conditions, and enjoys problem solving, collaboration and idea-sharing with the highest aim of creating values and performing science at the highest level.

We are surrounded without question by plastics, and therefore microplastics, that ruin nature, tourism and human health. This is particularly true in coastal zones with high populations and an apparent enrichment of plastics. This study identifies why microplastics are enriched in coastal regions and intends to remedy this issue.
