Sabina Wójcik

Dr. Sabina Wójcik is an Assistant Professor at the Geoenvironmental Research Department of the Polish Academy of Sciences, based at the Research Station in Szymbark. Her academic career includes both Master's (2005-2010) and PhD (2018) degrees from Jagiellonian University's Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, specializing in physical geography with theses focused on mountain hydrology and hydrochemistry.

Her research centers on three interconnected domains:

• Hydrology: Specializing in mountain river systems and drought patterns
• Hydrochemistry: Analyzing water quality changes in sensitive ecosystems
• Environmental Monitoring: Long-term observation of Carpathian ecosystems under climate stress

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate her focus on climate change impacts in the Carpathian region, with recurring themes of drought analysis, land-use effects on water systems, and geoenvironmental vulnerability. Her work consistently applies spatial analysis methods to mountain ecosystems across Poland's southern regions.

She contributes to significant projects including:

• Statutory research: The structure and functioning of the geographical environment of mountains and their forelands under conditions of climate change and anthropopressure
• EMEP atmospheric pollution monitoring at Szymbark (2024-2025)
• ZMŚP measurement program implementation at Beskid Niski Base Station (2023-2025)

Based at the Szymbark Research Station in Gorlice, she conducts fieldwork in the Low Beskids and collaborates with researchers including M. Kijowska-Strugała, W. Bochenek, and T. Szydłowski on interdisciplinary environmental studies.
