Professor Jan Vymazal has long been among the most-cited Czech scientists. His lifelong scientific focus has been on wetlands. In particular, he studies the use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment and carbon storage in natural wetland systems. “I am pleased that my publication activity contributes to the fact that wetland issues are highly relevant and attract considerable interest,” says the most-cited Czech scientist.
We warmly congratulate Professor Vymazal. His top ranking is a tremendous achievement for him personally, as well as for Czech science as a whole.
