We are a group of water ecology and hydrology scientists and students based in the Institute of Biology at University of Bialystok in North East Poland. Our research and teaching span the breadth of the discipline; from monitoring of different types of water ecosystems to the restoration effectiveness, and from hydrochemistry changes to organic carbon sequestration.
The Department of Environmental Protection conducts research on monitoring of natural water ecosystems, mainly in north-eastern Poland. Our investigations are focused on qualitative assessment of the environment and features of its transformation on the background of changing hydro-meteorological conditions. We are particularly interested in areas with higher biodiversity in the region like protected areas such as Knyszyn Landscape Park, Narew National Park, Wigry National Park, Biebrza National Park.
The Department of Environmental Protection specialises in an interdisciplinary approach to water ecology science and we are therefore involved in a variety of different research projects. Below is an example of some of the areas we are currently involved in:
