Adam Łajczak

Professor Adam Łajczak serves at the Department of Ecology and Geoinformation within the Institute of Biology and Earth Sciences at Pedagogical University of Krakow, where he conducts research at the intersection of geomorphology and human-environment interactions.

His research program focuses on:

• Dynamic processes in mountain environments (landslides, debris flows in Western Carpathians)
• Fluvial system transformations (Vistula River morphology and floodplains)
• Anthropogenic topographic changes in urban landscapes using remote sensing
• Long-term landscape evolution spanning historical to contemporary timescales

Recent publications (2018-2023) demonstrate consistent output in high-impact geography journals, with a methodological shift toward quantitative geospatial analysis. His work increasingly integrates historical cartography with modern remote sensing techniques for millennial-scale urban topography studies, while maintaining strong field-based investigations in critical Carpathian environments.

Professor Łajczak actively collaborates with Polish research institutions on national geomorphology projects, as evidenced by his contributions to major publications like 'Contemporary transformations of the Polish relief' (2021). His research program shows sustained activity through recent fieldwork in Babia Góra and Krakow, supported by ongoing publication in international journals including Geographia Polonica and Remote Sensing.
