Geographer, climatologist (habilitated doctor of Earth Sciences in the field of geography). She’s an associate professor at the Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization Polish Academy of Sciences and head of Climate Research Department. She is climatologist with special interest in the bioclimatology (impact of weather and climate on human), local climate (especially of health resorts) and city climate. Since many years she supervises the air temperature and humidity monitoring network in Warsaw’ agglomeration and analyses urban heat island in relation to the intensity of development and ratio of biological vital areas. She conducts studies in the parks and residential areas, also within projects.

Assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture, Institute of Environmental Engineering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences. She’s a landscape architect. Her research interests revolve around applications of green infrastructure and ecosystem services concepts in urban climate change adaptation, and the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in public participation, planning and management of green urban infrastructure.

His main research interests are focused on contemporary geomorphological processes and the effects of anthropopression in areas of high environmental value. In direct relation to landscape architecture, he is interested in environmental considerations of land use planning and performing environmental pre-decisional analysis during design. He particularly values the practical applicability of scientific environmental data.

His scientific and didactic work deals with animal biology and ecology, with particular emphasis on herpetology. He has a broad interest in conservation issues. In the project, its role is to raise awareness and remind that by shaping the landscape around us – we create or destroy the wildlife habitat.
