About
Michał Bukała, PhD
[ENG: Mee-how Boo-kah-lah]
I really like mountains—they’re big and rocky.
Also, I am a geologist specializing in fluid-rock interactions and the deformation processes occurring in environments ranging from the deep Earth to the near surface. My approach integrates hands-on fieldwork, laboratory studies, and advanced numerical/thermodynamic modeling to uncover the intricate dynamics of our planet.
Fieldwork Experience:
• 9+ years of experience across diverse terrains of Norway, Sweden, Svalbard, Greenland, Slovakia, Greece, and Spain.
• Co-applicant and researcher in projects exceeding €2 million in funding.
• Extensive experience as an editor, author, and peer reviewer for academic research papers.
• Python and Matlab for scientific computing and data analysis.
