Expertise
Hydrological research
including proglacial dynamics, freshwater ecosystem characteristics and
fluvial morphology
Research Interests
Main focus is given on
dynamics of
proglacial fluvial systems, its hydrological and thermal regime
together with sediment transport through the systems. Apart
that I
am interested also in studying lake ecosystems. As a member of several
Arctic and Antarctic expeditions I also cooperate on studies dealing
with paleoenvironmental reconstructions and atmospheric conditions
affectingrecent biological freshwater communities. I am based at the
Faculty of Science, University of South
Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice and Faculty of Science, Masaryk University
in Brno.
