Environmental engineering, mining and energy

Research topics:

• shaping and protecting water resources of agricultural, forest and urbanised areas
  
  
• acknowledging water cycle processes in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
  
  
• techniques and technologies for increasing the efficiency of improving and protecting the quality of underground and surface waters
  
  
• improving sewage treatment methods, with particular emphasis on non-urbanized and protected areas, as well as specific pollutants
  
  
• hydrodynamic modelling of water supply and sewage networks
  
  
• hydrological modelling of river basins regarding integrated water management, flood protection and water retention
  
  
• research on the transportation of waste, debris and sediment in rivers and reservoirs, as well as morphological changes in watercourses and river valleys
  
  
• physical modelling of water structures and devices
  
  
• revitalising anthropogenically degraded reservoirs
  
  
• managing rainwater in urban catchments
  
  
• blue-green infrastructure of urbanised and rural areas regarding adapting to climate change and minimising its effects
  
  
• low- and no-waste technologies and alternative use of waste
  
  
• research in the field of energy independence, diversification of energy production in rural and urban areas from alternative sources such as organic waste (biowaste and food waste), water, energy crops, biomass from fast-growing tree species, wind and sun
  
  
• decentralised systems for producing and storing electricity from renewable sources in various forms to increase its availability without negatively affecting the operation of the power grid
  
  
• new technologies for converting biomass into energy and its carriers, including low-temperature multi-fuel reactors, conversion of organic waste into hydrogen and CO2 sequestration
  
  
• reclaiming post-mining and post-industrial areas, and shaping the anthropogenic landscape
  
  
• protecting the atmosphere, and studying and modelling air pollution
  
  
• researching the functioning of the environmental impact assessment system for planned investments and plans, programs and strategies, and developing the methods used in the EIA and SEA
