Biography:
Professor Katarzyna Dabrowska - Zielinska –Head of Remote Sensing Centre in the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in Poland. She received PhD degree from the Australian National University in Canberra. She was awarded the Fulbright grant in USDA and has been working on modelling vegetation conditions. Her main research interests are related to the use of information derived from optical and microwave sensors of satellites for water and energy balance for the areas of agriculture and wetlands. She is developing models for drought detection and modelling its influence on crop and other vegetation. She woks on yield forecasting, crop growth assessment, environmental monitoring, detection of water deficit and its impact on yield reduction, natural hazards and wetlands management. She is strongly involved in modelling the CO2 flux for different areas using the satellite data.
