I've been working in the Soil Science and Agrophysics Department of the University of Agriculture in Krakow for 30 years. In 2021, I became a full professor. My main investigations are related to soil contamination with PAHs and heavy metals, environmental risks linked with industrial and mining areas, and their impact on the environment and public health, the remediation of polluted areas, and other forms of soil degradation: soil organic matter decline, carbon sequestration, etc.
