Numerical modelling of flood-induced pollutant transport in riverine and riparian systems
The PhD project is carried out within the scope of the INTERREG Project ResiRiver which pertains to "Creating Resilient River Systems by Mainstreaming and Upscaling NbS". The research, here, is focused on the numerical modelling of pollutant transport in riverine and riparian systems during flooding events. The goal is to develop robust tools and approaches for modelling pollutant dynamics with a focus on fluvial flooding events. This way, the project will improve our understanding of how pollutants move and disperse in these interconnected environments. The insights of the project will contribute to developing sustainable management practices that enhance water quality and reinforce the natural resilience of these ecosystems.
