Prof. Miklas Scholz, cand ing, BEng (equiv), PgC, MSc, PhD, CWEM, CEnv, CSci, CEng, FHEA, FIEMA, FCIWEM, FICE, Fellow of IWA holds the Chair in Civil Engineering at The University of Salford. He is the Head of the Civil Engineering Research Group. Prof. Scholz has shown individual excellence evidenced by world-leading publications, postgraduate supervision and research impact. His main research areas in terms of publication output are as follow: treatment wetlands (19%), integrated constructed wetlands (ICW, 14%), sustainable flood retention basins (SFRB, 7%), permeable pavement systems (7%), decision support systems (6%), ponds (5%) and capillary suction time (6%). About 46% and 45% of his research is in water resources management and wastewater treatment, respectively. The remaining 9% are in capillary processes and water treatment. currently Professor in Civil Engineering, Chair in Civil Engineering and Head of the Civil Engineering Research Group, School of Computing, Science and Engineering, College of Science and Technology, The University of Salford, Salford, Greater Manchester M5 4WT, England, United Kingdom
Research Interest
His research has led to the incorporation of findings into national and international guidelines on wetland and sustainable drainage systems. The greatest impact has been made in the area of ICW in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. Prof. Scholz contributed to the design guidelines of wetland systems as a research consultant. The guidelines assist designers and managers in all aspects of ICW planning, design, construction, maintenance and management. Moreover, specific guidelines were written for ICW used by farmers to treat farm yard runoff in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and Ireland. These guidelines are specifically mentioned in national legislation.
