Abbreviated CV:
Personal aim
To understand chemical environmental change in the polar regions in the rapidly changing climate. To learn, discover and inspire through environmental science.
Research areas
Biogeochemistry and environmental chemistry of polar regions, especially the Arctic; pollution (including secondary sources in the cryosphere) and its interactions with microbiome; cryospheric environments: snow, glaciers, permafrost; chemical individua of particular interest: persistent organic pollutants (POPs), organic carbon, metals and metalloids, inorganic ions. Spatial and temporal patterns in chemical individua distribution.
Education

University of Silesia, PL - Magister (MSc) in Geography (2010), awarded with distinction, among the best alumni of the University of Silesia in 2010
major: Environmental management and protection
Research topic: The chemical composition of atmospheric precipitation in Hornsund (Spitsbergen) as an indicator of polar environmental pollution.
