Marek Nowosad

Dr. hab. Marek Nowosad is a Professor at the Department of Hydrology and Climatology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, affiliated with the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management. His academic career spans over four decades, focusing on climatology, meteorology, and atmospheric circulation studies.

• PhD: Pokrywa śnieżna w Bieszczadach (1992), supervisor: Prof. W. Warakomski
• Habilitation: Zmienność cyrkulacji atmosferycznej nad Polską (2007), evaluated by Prof. K. Błażejczyk, Prof. K. Kożuchowski, and others

Nowosad’s research interests include:

• Atmospheric circulation patterns and their impact on regional climate
• Snow cover dynamics in Poland and Central Europe
• Urban heat islands and thermal comfort analysis
• Bioclimatological assessments for tourism and recreation
• Climate variability and extreme weather events

His publication trends focus on climate indices (e.g., UTCI, Lityński circulation types), snow cover analysis, and thermal comfort in urban settings. He has extensively used hourly meteorological data and spatial interpolation methods to study climate changes in Poland over decades. Nowosad has served as a promotor and reviewer for doctoral and habilitation theses, contributing to climatological education. His work also involves environmental monitoring and climate data validation through non-parametric tests. He participates in field studies, including topoclimatic investigations in the Bieszczady National Park and Roztocze regions.
