Prof. Ryszard Hejmanowski
AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland
• Prediction of land subsidence for the hard coal, copper ore,
salt, gas and oil deposits;
• Risk assessment on human/nature transformed terrains;
• Monitoring of land subsidence over mineral deposits in mining
areas;
• IT Systems developing (GIS) for building damage risk
assessment -and management on mining areas.
He did his PhD at the Technical University Clausthal in Germany
in 90ties, where he was working for almost 4 years. His current
projects are 'A proposed model of the upward movement voids to
the surface, causing discontinuous deformations' and ‘Analysis
of impact of mining tremors on surface subsidence’.
