Mgr. David Honek, Ph.D., graduated in geography at the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University in Brno and in 2020 he was awarded a doctoral degree in physical geography. As part of his studies, he focused on modelling erosion and sedimentation processes in small river basins in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Since 2018, he has been working at the T. G. Masaryk Water Research Institute, p.r.i. He focuses on topics in the field of water management. His main topics are the evaluation of water management facilities for the needs of monument care and the evaluation of precipitation-runoff processes with emphasis on erosion processes. For the needs of solving these topics, he participates in the management of the measuring network (precipitation and water levels) within the Brno branch of the T. G. Masaryk Water Research Institute, p.r.i, runoff analysis, data processing and evaluation, GIS analyses and the creation of maps and other outputs. Part of his work is also the presentation of the main results of work in professional periodicals and professional forums, including the presentation of work at universities, where he partially participates in teaching
