Research
The Department of Hydrology, Meteorology and Water Management provides scientific research in the field of natural and technical sciences including water management, hydrology, air protection and agroclimatic issues.
The Department’s scientific and research activities include:
- Research on the structure of mass and energy exchange between the atmosphere and various ecosystems,
- research related to the analysis of the possibilities of using wetland ecosystems as part of non-technical flood protection methods,
- analysis of the water cycle in nature for the purposes of water management and rational use of environmental resources located in the vicinity of protected areas,
- hydrological modelling and analyses of its possible applications for the assessment of wetland functioning, planning and development of small water retention,
- studies on the impact of anthropogenic and climatic changes on the formation of runoff in the catchment area,
- research on the formation of water and energy circulation processes in the environment.
