He is responsible for the course of Geographers BsC and MsC and he is the head of the Doctoral School of Environmental Sciences.


His research fields are karst morphology within this, karren, covered karsts and modelling of karstic processes. He carried out his field studies mainly in the karst areas of Central Europe, but he also organized research expeditions in other parts of the world, thus in China (1990), Iceland (1997), Chile(2002), Himalayas (2003), Madagascar (2004) and Lena (2012).
