Eutrophication: A Global Environmental Problem: Springer Water

Professor Elena Neverova-Dziopak is a graduate of the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in Saint Petersburg (Russia), defended her doctoral thesis at the Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia) and currently working at the AGH University of Krakow, Poland, at the Department of Environmental Management and Protection of the Faculty of Geo-DatäScience,¿Geodesy,¿and¿ Environmental¿ Engineering. She was also an academic teacher at the Kielce University of Technology, Czestochowa Technical University, Jan D¿ugosz University In Czestochowa (Poland) and gave lectures at Turku University (Finland). The scope of her scientific interests concerns the protection and rational use of water resources, with particular emphasis on eutrophication processes. She deals with the development of ecological standards for biogenic substances in surface waters, the determination of the permissible loads of pollutants introduced into water recipients and the assessment of their ecological capacity. Her interests also include the development of methods for assessing the trophic status of waters. Another aspect of her research is the development of the approaches for optimal wastewater treatment technologies selection in order to reduce their impact on eutrophication processes intensification, as well as various aspects of circular economy in the field of water and wastewater management. Dr. Eng. Zbigniew Kowalewski is an assistant professor at Faculty of Mining Surveying and Environmental Engineering at AGH University of Krakow. He has a Ph.D from Department of Environmental Management and Protection at AGH University (year 2012 - "Verification of the possibility of using an integral criterion to assess the trophic status of running waters"). His research focuses on eutrophication and wastewater. He is mainly interested in eutrophication assessment methods and models also in modeling water interactions in ecosystems. Avid user of R language in data analysis and statistics.
