Last major domestic projects:

• Variability of hydrodynamic and lithodynamic

processes in the coastal zone of the east part of the Gulf of Gdańsk,

• Analysis of hydro- and lithodynamic processes in

the region of the planned cross-cut through Vistula Spit and prediction of the cross-cut impact

• n the seashore, together with assessment of the

intensity of sedimentation (silting-up) of the waterway from the cross-cut to Elbląg harbor,

• Definition and description of the relationships

between the movement of sediments, changes in structures of current and bottom and the development and verification of models of these phenomena for shallow shore areas multibars (dissipative) and nonbars (reflective) to determine their empirical relationships with the generation and evolution of rhythmic forms coastal
