Prof. Tatiana Solovey | Deep Learning | Best Researcher Award

Polish Geological Institute | Poland

Dr. Tatiana Solovey is a Polish hydrogeologist and Associate Professor at the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute. With over two decades of academic and research experience, she has specialized in groundwater hydrology, environmental geology, and sustainable water resource management. She began her career as an Assistant Lecturer and later Assistant Professor at Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine, before moving to Poland, where she advanced from Senior Researcher to Head of the Department of Hydrogeology. Her international collaborations span internships and research stays in Latvia, Estonia, Norway, Ukraine, and the United States. A dedicated educator and mentor, she has taught hydrogeology, environmental monitoring, and water resource assessment, while also supervising young researchers in European-funded projects. Dr. Solovey is widely recognized for her contributions to transboundary groundwater management and the use of satellite data for hydrological monitoring. She also serves as editor for several leading geoscience journals.

Education

Tatiana Solovey holds advanced degrees in geography and Earth sciences with a specialization in hydrology. She earned her M.Sc. in Geography with a focus on Hydrology from Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine, followed by a Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Sciences from the same university. Building on this foundation, she achieved her habilitation in Earth and Environmental Sciences (Hydrology) at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, a credential later nostrified at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. Throughout her academic journey, she enriched her expertise through international research internships, including at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, the University of Latvia, the Estonian Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Norway, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. These academic and research experiences shaped her as a leading expert in groundwater sustainability, transboundary aquifers, and hydro-environmental monitoring.

Experience

Dr. Solovey’s professional career reflects a steady progression in academia and research. She began as an Assistant Lecturer and later Assistant Professor at Chernivtsi National University, She then joined the Institute of Technology and Life Sciences, Falenty, Poland, where she served as Senior Researcher she has been affiliated with the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute, where her roles have included Senior Researcher, Assistant Professor, and Associate Professor. She has also held leadership positions, such as Head of the Department of Hydrogeology and Deputy Head of the Department of Hydrogeology and Environmental Geology. In addition to her administrative and teaching responsibilities, she has actively contributed to European and international research collaborations and delivered invited lectures across Poland, Ukraine, and international scientific forums. She continues to mentor young researchers, lead hydrology-focused projects, and strengthen international cooperation in water resource sustainability.

Awards and Honors

Dr. Solovey’s research focuses on hydrogeology, groundwater resources, and transboundary water systems. She investigates the hydrological and hydrochemical regimes of wetlands, groundwater exchange processes in transboundary aquifers, and the effects of climate change on water resources. A significant aspect of her work is the integration of remote sensing and GRACE satellite data to monitor groundwater level fluctuations and storage changes. Her studies aim to improve sustainable groundwater management, particularly in cross-border basins such as the Bug River Basin shared by Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. She also explores hydrogeological models for aquifers, groundwater pollution hazards, and climate-induced water resource variability. By combining field hydrology, geospatial monitoring, and environmental modeling, her work bridges science and policy, offering solutions for water security and environmental resilience. Her research has a strong applied dimension, supporting sustainable development and international cooperation in managing shared water resources across borders.

Research Focus

Dr. Solovey’s distinguished career is marked by academic recognition, memberships, and leadership roles in prominent scientific organizations. She has been an Expert of the Integrated Monitoring of the Natural Environment Commission at the Polish Ministry of the Environment and a member of the Geological Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She is also an active member of several professional associations, including the Ukrainian Geographical Society, the Polish Geological Society, EuroGeoSurveys Working Group on Geohazards, and the International Association of Hydrogeologists. Her expertise has been acknowledged internationally through invited lectures and conference presentations at UNESCO ISARM, the International Association of Hydrogeologists Congress, and the EGU General Assembly. Beyond scientific recognition, she holds key editorial roles as Editor of Geological Quarterly and Przegląd Geologiczny, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Meteorology, Hydrology, Environmental Monitoring, and Editor of Geology and Geochemistry of Combustible Minerals, reflecting her outstanding contribution to Earth sciences.
