I have expertise in Arctic fjords systems science, reflecting an education in the filed of geography, sedimentology and oceanography. My recent interest is the modern processes of sedimentation, interaction between fresh and salt water and supply of terrigenous matter to the fjords with applications to climate changes study. Since science is the team effort, and  I work in the Department of Marine Ecology, I also study biological implications on solids fluxes in water column and bottom sediments.
During 24 years of my professional activities I spent more than 50 months in European, American and Russian Arctic regions working in different scientific programs.



Ongoing projects:

·        Dynamics sedimentary environment of glacier contact and no-glacier contact fjords.

·        Modern climate changes and their influence on fjords environment.

·        Benthic foraminifera distribution in the botton sediments of Hornsund fjord: Svalbard, European Arctic

·       Buoyant hypopycnal flux of turbid water, upwelling at the glaciers front and zooplankton mortality in the fjords.

·       COSA - Coastal Sands As Biocatalytical Filters

·        BIODAFF - Biodiversity and Fluxes in Arctic Glaciated Fjords

·        CASES - Canadian Arctic Shelf Ecosystem Studies



Graduate – Supervision:

2004 – M. Sc.  Katarzyna Małuj, University of Gdańsk

2004 – M. Sc.  Beata Świejkowska, University of Gdańsk

2004 – M. Sc.  Magdalena Jakubowska, University of Gdańsk.



Active Professional Membership:

SCOR Working Group 122 on  Mechanisms of Sediment Retention in Estuaries, Associate Member.
