Urszula Soczyńska, born Czaplińska, graduated in water building engineering at the Warsaw Technical University in 1957. In 1956 she began didactic course on hydraulics and fluid mechanics at the Warsaw Technical University and then in 1960 she moved to the National Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology where she organized the Laboratory of Hydrologic Prognostic Methodology. During 50 years of scientific and didactic work she dedicated herself mostly to the issues of forecasting, especially of floods and icings of rivers. She was promoted a doctor on the basis of her dissertation The method of forecasting of the river freshets in the mountainous regions of Poland basing on specific unit hydrograph waves characteristics under the guidance of professor Julian Lambor. In 1975 she was promoted a docent at the Institute of Meteorology and Water Adrninistration where she ran the Department of Dynamic Hydrology. The collected research findings served as a base for her habilitation dissertation Methodological bases of the regional model of basin in the Polish conditions which was conducted in 1977 at the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies of the Warsaw University. In 1978- 2001 professor Urszula Soczyńska was bound with the University of Warsaw, first as a docent and later as a professor at the Department of Hydrology within the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies. An outstanding hydrologist, an expert in mathematic modelling, for 10 years she ran the Department of Hydrology where she introduced the modern methods of prediction of reception basins outflow on the basis of precipitation transformation with the specific recurrence probability. In 1984- 1990 she was the Director of the Institute of Physico-geographical Sciences. In 1990- 1993 she was the Dean of the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, implementing creative organizational, didactic, and staff system changes. She was the author of over a hundred hydrologic papers acknowledged in Poland and abroad and an organizer of the international cooperation with the European countries within the framework of UNESCO-IHP FRIEND in the field of hydrologic research upon the experimental basins used to predict river floods and low flows. Her methodological and applied papers had good theoretical bases and were grounded on the extensive empirical material. She was an unquestioned expert in Polish and European hydrology and her works and methodological bases are stili valid.
