The relationship between the natural environment and human activity in different climatic zones

Date: -

Supervisor: Paweł Prokop

Contractors: Eliza Płaczkowska, Paweł Prokop, Leszek Starkel, Łukasz Wiejaczka

An aim is interdisciplinary research on an evolution of the natural environment under natural and anthropogenic impact in the temperate zone (Europe) and subtropical monsoonal climate (India). Research comprise the analysis of the slope sediments, alluvial deposits and river channels as well as soil development.Findings are applied in the evaluation of causes and effects of global climate change, flood control and soil conservation.The detailed objectives:1. The explanation of mechanisms of the sediment transfer and regularities of river-beds shaping in the fluvial system of Brahmaputra along the Himalayan piedmont as well as the estimation of sedimentation rate of the overbank deposits.2. The estimation of soil erosion rates on the cultivated areas of the Meghalaya Hills, India under high rainfall and intensive farming3. The determination role of natural factors (rainfall and neotectonic activity) in the forming of landscape of the Eastern Himalayas and their foreland.
