doc. RNDr. Zdeněk Kliment, CSc.
Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology
Research Interest
I am engaged in research in the field of hydrology with an overlap into fluvial geomorphology with a closer focus on the study of the rainfall-runoff process and its changes, hydrological extremes and water retention in the landscape, water erosion and transport of substances in the basin, surface water quality and fluvial dynamics of river systems. I also focus on regional physical geography and changes in the natural environment of the African continent.
Lectures and seminars
Leading lectures and practices for bachelor, master and PhD students (fluvial processes, hydrology, regional physical geography, seminars, field courses and excursions).
