My research interests are focused on the problems of dynamic geomorphology, sediment geochemistry, landscape changes and protection, and geotourism. In the years 1996-2018 I participated actively in about 70 conferences, seminars and scientific workshops (including 20 foreign conferences). I published, as an author or co-author, 112 peer-reviewed papers, 6 of them are monographs and textbooks, 70 articles have been published in peer-review journals (23 indexed by JCR), and 36 are peer-reviewed publications included in monographs or conference materials. I am a member of the Association of Polish Geomorphologists and the Polish Geographical Society.

Scientific articles: number of citations = 287, h-index = 10 (Web of Science); the number of citations = 357, h-index= 11 (Scopus). Citations of scientific publications according to Google Scholar: 865 (h=15).
