Department’s Research Profile:

• Collection and processing of agroclimatic data for modeling plant growth and development, taking into account agricultural space
• Current and long-term yield forecasting and assessment of agricultural effects of climate change.
• Maintaining a data bank on agricultural production space with applications in the GIS system.
• Maintaining an agricultural drought monitoring system in Poland.
• Conducting meteorological measurements at IUNG-PIB stations and supervision over entrusted stations.
• Monitoring crops using spectral imaging.
• Conducting remote phenological observations.
• Assessment of the impact of climate change on agricultural production.
• Assessment of adaptation practices for agriculture in the face of climate change.
• Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture.
• Evaluation of climate policy in the agricultural sector.
• Creation of interactive web applications for acquiring modeling and dissemination of knowledge in the field of Bioeconomy.
