Michal Spitalniak is a scientific guest from the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences (Poland). In our group he will jointly realize a project entitled: "Assessment on soil water retainers and soil mineral additives for their possible usage in purpose to minimize climate change impact and water scarcity risk on environment and society". In his home institution, Michal’s research is focused on the development of water-absorbing geocomposites. Water absorbing geocomposites are special elements developed to enhance plant vegetation in stress conditions triggered by drought.
