The focus of the research is analysis of dynamics of spatial and time relations in physio geographical sphere and the impact of these dynamics on the society. The combination of Geography, Cartography, Geoinformatics and Remote sensing within one research direction is motivated by the fact that physical Geography works with spatial data and uses the geoinformatics/GIS tools. Current enhancement of Physical Geography and Geoecology has been influenced by recent boost of research of global environmental threats and risks. At the forefront of the interest of physical geographers and cartographers is especially the impact of climate changes on the different components of the environment. The second large field of research interest lies in comparison of current environmental processes with their past shape and their progress. Crucial findings about the dynamics of physio geographical phenomena can be derived from such comparison and can facilitate prediction of regional and global changes of the environment.
The individual research topics involve:
environmental threats and risks and their impact on human society
paleographical development of environment in Quaternary
changes of dynamics of hydrological processes and ecology of watercourses as indicators of global climate changes and anthropogenetic envronmental changes
climate change impacts on landscape dynamics and landscape flows at various time scales
interactions between climatic, hydrologic, geomorphic, vegetation and soil systems
development of qualitative and quantitative indicators of phenomena in data obtained via remote sensing and spectroscopy
algorithms of change detection using remote sensing and analysis of topographical data in digital modelling of (Earth)surface
