Maciej Markowski

Dr. Maciej Markowski serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gdansk, with additional affiliation at the institution's GIS Center. His research focuses on freshwater ecosystems in Northern Poland, particularly the Tricity metropolitan area, employing Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing methodologies to analyze lake hydrology and ecological dynamics.

His research portfolio centers on Limnology and Hydrology, with specialized expertise in lobelia lakes and post-glacial ponds. Key investigation areas include trophic state assessment, sediment resuspension mechanisms, anthropogenic pressure impacts, and climate change effects on freshwater systems. His methodological approach integrates geospatial analysis with hydrological modeling to address conservation challenges in vulnerable aquatic ecosystems.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent application of GIS techniques across diverse environmental contexts—from modeling wind-wave sediment dynamics in Tricity-area lakes to assessing atmospheric water exchange in river-lake systems. Notable research trends include increasing integration of satellite data for climate monitoring (2023-2024), persistent focus on Baltic coastal ecosystems, and interdisciplinary expansion into bioenergy conversion processes and aeronautical cartography applications.

As an active member of the University of Gdansk's GIS Center, Dr. Markowski leverages advanced spatial analysis infrastructure to support regional environmental research. His work directly contributes to conservation strategies for Northern Poland's unique freshwater systems, particularly addressing threats from urbanization and climate variability in the Gdańsk metropolitan region.
