Research interests:
Cycling of suspended matter (seston), quantification of water quality, economical valuation of water quality. Emphasis on seston transformation due to respiration, sedimentation, non-photosynthetic formation of seston. Development of system of water quality qualification and its incorporation in ecological modeling.
