My Profile

About

Michael Nones is an Associate Professor in the Hydrology and Hydrodynamics Department at the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland. He did his Master in Environmental Engineering at the University of Padua, Italy, and, in 2012, he obtained his PhD from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Science, University of Padova, Italy. Before joining the Institute of Geophysics PAS, he spent seven years between the University of Bologna, Italy, gerstgraser - Ingenieurbüro für Renaturierung and BTU Cottbus, Germany. He currently works on fluvial morphodynamics and geomorphology, combining numerical modelling with remote sensing.
