Artur received his MSc degree in Geodesy, Surveying and Cartography with a specialization in Geoinformation and Mine Surveying in 2017 from AGH University of Krakow, Poland. He was awarded a PhD in Civil Engineering and Transport in 2022, with a dissertation titled „Modelling of land surface movement due to mining-induced drainage”, also from AGH University of Krakow.
Currently, Artur serves as an Assistant Professor at AGH University of Krakow. In 2022, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Padova, Italy. Over the years, he has actively collaborated on international research projects with institutions including Deltares, University of Twente, Wageningen University (Netherlands), University of Leeds, University of Aberdeen (UK), University of Oviedo (Spain), RHEA Group (Italy), and the European Space Agency.
He is the Principal Investigator (PI) of the „3MAP” project (2024-2027), funded by the National Science Center (NCN) in Poland, which focuses on monitoring, modeling, and mitigating land subsidence in delta regions. Additionally, he contributes as a PI or Co-Investigator to several research initiatives, including: „Novel Algorithm for Sinkhole Precursors Detection” (NCN, 2022-2026), „Modeling of land surface movements due to rock mass drainage” (NCN, 2020-2023), „Conserve Water or Drown in the Consequences” (Dutch Research Council, NWO, 2022), „OPEN SAR Library – EXPRO+ AlignSAR” (European Space Agency, 2023-2024).
His work supports a deeper understanding of environmental and geohydromechanical processes associated with groundwater extraction and subsurface mining, particularly in the context of ongoing energy transitions and climate change. Specifically, his research activities focus on:
-
Numerical modeling of ground deformation resulting from aquifer drainage and underground mining,
-
Application of InSAR and other remote sensing techniques for monitoring land surface changes,
-
Risk assessment and detection of sinkholes in post-mining and urban environments,
-
Investigation of geohydromechanical processes related to groundwater exploitation and land subsidence,
-
Assessment of the environmental impacts of energy transitions and the legacy of abandoned mines.
