Prof. Scholz is an Editor, Sub-editor and Editorial Board member (no double counting) of 20, 7 and 67 journals,

respectively. Miklas has a currently active income of usually £400,000. His income over the past six years is typically £1,700,000. This includes research and other grants, and consultancy. His SFRB concept assesses the multi-functionality of all large water bodies with particular reference to their flood and diffuse pollution control potential. A novel and unbiased classification system allows all stakeholders to clearly define the purpose of a water body that can be classed as an SFRB. Communication among stakeholders regarding

the most appropriate management of SFRB is greatly enhanced. Moreover, the SFRB concept addresses the need to assess the flood control potential of all European water bodies as part of new legislation. 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 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. The guidelines on SFRB and ICW have led to the international uptake of both the SFRB and ICW concepts and the researched hybrid SuDS. This work has particularly benefited the British Isles, and Central and Northern Europe. For

example, ICW are now being constructed in Belgium, Germany, the United States of America and China. 1.2. CV Summary in Swedish Världsledande forskning om våtmarker

Jag heter Miklas Scholz och föddes i tyska Flensburg den 16 oktober 1970. Min grundutbildning ägde rum vid Technische Universität Kaiserslautern och TU Berlin. Jag har bedrivit forskning vid City University London, University of Birmingham, University of Reading, University of Bradford, University of Edinburgh, University of Salford och Lunds universitet. År 2010 utnämndes jag till professor i väg- och vattenbyggnad vid University of Salford och i juli 2016 till professor i teknisk vattenresurslära vid Lunds universitet.

Den framgångsrika forskning jag bedrivit finns representerad i världsledande forskningspublikationer, handledning av doktorander och ett i övrigt stort genomslag. Mina huvudsakliga forskningsområden mätt i antalet publiceringar är anlagda våtmarker, integrerade anlagda våtmarker, hållbara utjämningsmagasin för översvämningar, genomsläppliga markbeläggningar, system för beslutsstöd, dammar och undersökningar av kapillär uppsugningstid. Min forskning behandlar till ena hälften vattenresurshantering och till den andra avloppshantering. Min utformning av

hållbara utjämningsmagasin mäter de många funktionerna i alla större vattenmassor med avseende på deras förmåga att kontrollera översvämningar och diffusa utsläpp. Ett nytt och objektivt klassificeringssystem ger alla intressenter möjlighet att klart definiera ändamålet för en vattensamling som kan beskrivas som ett hållbart utjämningsmagasin och förbättrar kommunikationen mellan intressenter om hur de ska hanteras. Min utformning efterfrågar en bedömning av alla europeiska vattenmassor utifrån ny lagstiftning. Min forskning har lett till att forskningsresultat inkorporerats i nationella och internationella riktlinjer för våtmarker och hållbara dräneringssystem.

Störst genomslag har min forskning haft för integrerade anlagda våtmarker i Irland, Nordirland, Skottland och England. De riktlinjer som utarbetats ger stöd för allt arbete med integrerade anlagda våtmarker – planering, utformning, anläggning, drift och underhåll. Det finns även specifika riktlinjer för våtmarkssystem för att avleda vatten

Views by Readers and Customers: Scholz M. (2006), Wetland Systems to Control Urban Runoff. Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. “This book has become the standard textbook for urban pollution control with wetland systems. It is widely used by students, consultants and researchers in urban water engineering as well as water and environmental engineering.

The author also takes a more holistic point of view, covering various subject disciplines to solve multi-disciplinary challenges. Water quality enhancement is the main focus. Note that there is now a second edition! The author has widened the scope and the book now contains more relevant research case studies.” ***** Review Published on Amazon by AH on 5 November 2015

Scholz M. (2010), Wetland Systems – Storm Water Management Control. Springer Verlag, Berlin, Germany. “Storm water management control with wetland systems to control pollution is the central theme of this textbook written predominantly for students and academics in water and environmental engineering science. However, also practitioners working as consultants should find suitable case studies relevant for their contracts. This book has become one of the standard textbooks in urban water management and complements similar books

on wetlands by the same author, which have been published by Elsevier in 2006 and 2015. Therefore, this Springer book should be read in parallel!” ***** Review Published on Google Books Scholz M. (2016), Wetlands for Water Pollution Control. 2nd edition. Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

“This is a very comprehensive book on wetland systems used for water pollution control. It comprises standard water, wastewater and storm water treatment and management chapters as well as plenty of chapters covering interesting case studies and the latest research findings on wetland engineering science. This makes this book highly relevant for students and practitioners as well as academics working not just in civil and environmental engineering but also in related fields including environmental science, ecology, microbiology and urban planning.

The second edition has been fully updated and revised. Moreover, more research studies of relevance across the world have been added.” ***** Review Published on Amazon by AH on 25 November 2015 “It is not very often that a single text covers both the fundamental and applied aspects of a subject area, while also including the state of art regarding its research. This book does this, and in a very comprehensive and interesting

manner, using an integrated approach. It covers water management across the water cycle; with detailed emphasis on wetland science and engineering supported with numerous case studies and research findings. The book, which is the second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated with latest research findings; and it will be highly relevant for students, academics and practitioners in the broad area of water and environmental engineering.” ***** Review Published on Amazon by an Amazon customer on 5 December 2015

“This is a very comprehensive book on wetland systems used for water pollution control. It comprises standard water, wastewater and storm water treatment and management chapters as well as plenty of chapters summarizing the combination of preliminary and predominately primary, secondary and tertiary treatment technologies with wetland systems in order to reduce the land availability costs. Some chapters cover interesting and well-timed applies case studies associated with constructed wetlands and relevant remediation techniques for diffuse and runoff pollution control as well as the latest research findings on wetland engineering science. Eradication of critical water quality

problems linked with farm constructed wetlands, integrated constructed wetlands, constructed treatment wetlands, and storm water ponds, and other sustainable biological filtration and biodegradation techniques associated with public health engineering are elucidated. It makes this book highly relevant for students and practitioners as well as academics working not just in civil and environmental engineering but also in related fields including environmental science, civil and environmental engineering, ecology, microbiology, agriculture and urban planning. This book is essential for the engineers and

researchers working in the relevant fields of water industry, local authorities, governmental organizations and nongovernmental bodies in order to develop design, operation, and management of wetlands. The research projects are multidisciplinary, holistic, investigational, and modelling-oriented. Furthermore, consulting engineers should be



24

proficient to apply sensible design suggestion and to refer to a large multiplicity of sensible international case studies, together with large-scale field studies. The second edition has been fully updated and revised. This revised edition has both a more comprehensive and a wide view of the subject field. Further aspects have been included to some chapters to describe technological

advances in treatment plants and scientific advancement in fields’ for instance molecular microbiology. In addition, the subject fields have been wide to explain more multidisciplinary technique, for instance the ecosystem services model, to unravel engineering science challenge with a holistic approach. So as to comprehend this innovative technique, both renew and extension of the recent content was requisite. Hence the second edition has been lengthened, making it more competitive in a marketplace where booklover have more option and suppleness caused by development in technology and the open access policy.

The revised and expanded book highlights vast water and environmental engineering feature related to the drainage and treatment of wastewater and storm water, describing an eloquent summary of the complicated treatment systems and general design issues concerned. Moreover, more research studies of relevance across the world have been added.” Review submitted to Elsevier by Dr Muhammad Aqeel Ashraf, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Science & Natural Resources, University Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia, on 7 December 2015

The present book is the second edition of Wetland Systems to Control Urban Runoff written by Prof. Miklas Scholz and published by Elsevier (2006). The book is comprehensive, up to date, carefully structured and well written. The current edition attempts to cover all aspects of the designs and operations of wetland systems. It is one of the most in-depth textbooks of wetland systems published so far. In the 524 pages of the book, the reader will get a wealth of information which makes the book worth to be bought. The topics of the book are nicely covered and also have a

detailed analysis of various aspects. It covers the design, operation, maintenance, water quality monitoring of traditional and novel of wetland systems. Also, it involves the analysis of asset performance, modelling of treatment processes and performances of existing infrastructure, the sustainability and economic issues. It successfully integrates both natural and constructed wetlands. The drainage techniques of traditional water and wastewater systems as parts of integration are used to treat surface runoff and associated diffuse pollution. It is composed of 38 chapters: chapters 1-4 are an introduction to water quality management and water and wastewater treatment

fundamentals. Chapters 5-9 involves review preliminary and predominantly primary treatment units that can be combined with wetland systems; chapters 10-15 summarize predominantly secondary and tertiary treatment technologies that can be used in combination with wetland technologies or as alternatives in cases where land availability is restricted due to costs. Chapters 16-17 present nonessential traditional technologies; chapters 18-19 cover the microbiological and disinfection issues relevant to treatment of wetlands. Chapter 20 introduces wetland science and biological treatment processes of different wetland types based on microbial biodegradation;

furthermore, chapter 21 highlights sludge treatment and disposal options that should be considered for sludge obtained from wetland systems. Finally, chapters 22-38 emphasis mainly on a wide variety of case studies related to constructed wetlands and associated technologies for runoff and diffuses pollution treatment. Moreover, they introduce wetlands such as sustainable flood control basins used for both diffuse pollution and flood control purposes. Prof. Scholz, a famous professional civil engineer, is successful in writing a high-standard textbook. This textbook is highly recommended for all who want to know more about the design and operation of wetland systems. Overall,

Wetlands for Water Pollution Control will have a broad range of readers including students, practitioners and researchers. ***** Review Published on Waterstones by Associate Prof. Ebrahem M. Eid, Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Kafr El-Sheikh University, Kafr El-Sheikh on 16 December 2015 The strong points of this book include: (a) the coverage of a wide scientific area, which includes water and wastewater

treatment by conventional methods and constructed wetlands, (b) the presentation of several case studies, and (c) the provision of design and operational guidelines. The overall quality of the book is further increased by the use of numerous figures and tables. The volume would make an excellent textbook for students, scholars and professionals as it deals with all issues related to the design, operation, maintenance, water quality monitoring, asset per formance, modelling and economics of traditional and novel wetland systems. Finally, the author’s extensive experience on relevant scientific topics has ensured an authoritative work of excellent quality.

Part 6: Teaching

6.1. Reflection on Teaching

This section briefly reflects on Prof. Scholz’s qualifications concerning teaching activities focusing on tuition and education. Evidence of his long-term ability to support and facilitate student learning and to reflect on his teaching practice using knowledge about teaching and learning is self-evident, considering that he successfully teaches in different capacities for almost 20 years.

Effort to develop his teaching practice through cooperation and interaction with other colleagues has also been demonstrated. This is particularly self-evident, where he refers to activities during his appointments at The University of Edinburgh (as a senior lecturer) and at The University of Salford as the Chair in Civil Engineering. His teaching and related educational activities are directly informed by latest research in the subject matter concerned. Particularly his postgraduate students appreciate a teaching style based on research-informed

workshops, integrated design exercises and dynamic group work activities. Unless absolutely necessary, he avoids giving standard lectures based on countless PowerPoint slides with little student staff-interactions. His personal basic teaching approach is based on a modern and liberal philosophy to learning, where taking initiative and responsibility are high on the agenda. His philosophy is informed by knowledge about teaching and learning, which he acquired through formal training in teaching in higher education and through knowledge and methodology

development in my subject area. His CV comprises relevant evidence, which is directly related to his teaching, education and supervision expertise. Important aspects of my own basic approach to undergraduate and particularly postgraduate teaching are outlined where appropriate. His reflection is based on personal experience of teaching and learning in higher education on all levels including research studies undertaking by groups of students (all levels).

His plans for the future are to continue with his unique teaching style, but to be guided by my more teaching-active colleagues to pitch his teaching at the right level, and to adjust to new developments in the education sector. The overall aim is to optimise student feedback and student progression.

6.4. Recent (Peer-)observation and Student Feedback “[…] The session appeared to be well planned and was structured according to module guide which demonstrated a

consistent format across the course which helps students to know what is expected of them and this is especially important given that the sessions rely on them to have produced pieces of work and engaged with specific learning materials. You explained both the structure of the session (including my presence in it) and how this fit into the wider learning for the module. I really liked how all the elements contributed to the summative assessment for the module and students could see their progression towards this. […] I liked the use of role play to get the students thinking about their project and being forced to think about specific

questions that they perhaps haven’t previously. This will ultimately enhance their learning and their final submissions. Having printed roles for each of the participants helped to focus this and student participation was at its strongest in this part of the sessions. […] Overall, I felt you had a good rapport with the students and it being a small group you were able to effectively involve all the students at various points using a range of strategies. You are clearly extremely knowledgeable in your field, but also passionate and that comes across in your teaching which is great for students to see. […]”

Dr Dan Redfearn on teaching Water and wastewater Systems (MEng course) by Prof. Miklas Scholz in November 2015 “It was a pleasure and an honour to have you visiting Civil Engineering Science last week. Staff and postgraduate students have benefitted from your methods towards academic paper writing. Your comments and ideas, were

constructive, and certainty inspired, promoted and will advance research in the cluster.” “I really appreciated these four days of workshop on “scientific manuscript preparation for publication”. It was really interesting and practicable. I have learnt lots from this workshop and can say that I am one of the greatest beneficiaries. Beyond your expertise, you are so friendly. I thank you for your time and for all what you helped us with. I wish to see you again.”

Academic Writing Workshop Feedback by Dr Kassahun Birhanu Tadesse, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Civil Engineering Science, University of Johannesburg (2017) “I would like to thank you for the lecture, and your attempts to change the world. I firmly believe that our China needs more people like you, who are concerned with water resources and also, put words into actions. I will tell my friends

who major in related fields about the Uni of Lund and your research, and i think they will be interest. By the way, although i am an English Major, i learn a lot about your PPT, like the colours used to indicate subjects and sizes to frequency. Well, the way can be adopted in second language acquisition. No wonder SWEDEN is regarded as innovative; you have shown me. Anyway, i can't wait to read your book. I will be very grateful if you send it to me. Again we very much appreciate your lecture. And thank you for your reading.”

Feedback from Miss. Meng-Ying Yang, who is a student at Chongqing Jiaotong University (2017) “One more time, it is a great honour and was a pleasant time working with you over the last couple of days. It was a very enjoyable and enlightening lecture that you were giving. Even a complete outsider like me (and a student of art too) could understand most, if not 100%, of what you said, which surely demonstrates how good a lecturer you are,

especially in explaining complicated knowledge in a comprehensible way! Looking forward to learn from you and working with you again in the future when chances permit.” Ms. Tingting Chai (English to Mandarin interpreter) on teaching Chinese students by Prof. Miklas Scholz in March 2017
