Anna Lenar-Matyas

Dr. Anna Lenar-Matyas holds a BEng and PhD, serving as Assistant Professor in the Department of Geoengineering and Water Management at Cracow University of Technology's Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Energy. Her research centers on Carpathian mountain river systems with emphasis on sediment dynamics, flood mitigation infrastructure, and ecological restoration under anthropogenic pressures.

Her primary research domains include Environmental Engineering, Water Management, River Restoration, Flood Protection, Sediment Transport, and Mountain River Systems. She investigates how grade control structures, dry dams, and river regulation impact channel morphology and aquatic habitats, particularly through field studies in Polish Carpathian rivers affected by climate change and development.

Analysis of her publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on sediment transport modeling, river morphodynamics, and flood protection engineering. Her recent works integrate hydrological monitoring with ecological assessment to develop nature-based solutions for river management, demonstrating strong empirical methodology in mountainous catchments.

With 53 publications and an h-index of 5 in both Scopus and Web of Science, her research has significant applied relevance for Polish water management authorities and international river restoration practices.
