APVV-22-0024: Fyzikálna geomorfometria pre fyzickogeografický výskum. 2023 – 2027, co-investigator. This project focuses on studying the geometric properties of landforms and their relationship to the influence of gravitational energy on surface processes (dynamics) and the long-term evolution (genesis) of land surface. One of the fundamental goals is to develop software packages that implement physically based methods for geomorphometric analysis.
