Expert Details

Water Resources from Snow; Meteorological Applications; Environmental Modelling and Monitoring

ID: 729971 Austria

Request Expert

Expert has worked extensively in Environmental modelling and monitoring, focusing on water resources from snow and the evolution of snow cover. His work includes the development of new algorithms for solar radiation on complex topography, new monitoring tools, the development and implementation of distributed energy balance models and the application of numerical weather prediction model outputs to the assessment of snow cover evolution and water resources on mountain ground.

He has published in international scientific journals and worked as senior postdoctoral researchers in some leading European universities, as well as at the Centre for snow research at Meteo France. This research work has been applied practically in cooperation with hydroelectric companies for the estimation of water resources for hydropower generation in the Swiss Alps.
