Biography

I'm a snow researcher, working in the Arctic for almost 20 years. I've started as a field assistant on a geological expedition to Bellsund (Spitsbergen), then did my masters on soil pollution in the vicinity of Polish Polar Station Hornsund and PhD on dynamics of snowpack in the SW Spitsbergen. Since 2013 I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Polar and Marine Research IG PAS in Warsaw. My main research interests are the response of the glaciers to Climate Change, glaciers mass balance, snowpack physical properties and snow cover distribution in the coastal environment of Svalbard. I've been involved in several research projects in Svalbard and Antarctica focused on glaciers mass balance, snowpack physical properties and pollutants and microbes deposited in the snowpack.
