Background

MSc in cartography and hydrology at the Loránd Eötvös University of Sciences (ELTE), Budapest, Hungary.

Doctor's degree: fellowship at the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC), The Netherlands, GIS-based hydrological modelling of alluvial regions (Abstract), defended at ELTE (Summa Cum Laude).

Key qualifications:

• hydrology
• remote sensing
• geographical information systems
• cartography

Activities in education

In the last few years, I have been involved in teaching on and the management of the core modules in the WREM programme, which gives the basics in remote sensing and GIS as well as their application in water management. In my view, this module is the key to the success of the students, since the core module provides the fundament for the more advanced studies in the further modules. My involvement in the further modules was more on an irregular basis. Additionally, the supervision of PM final assignments and MSc theses work provided me with almost daily contacts with the students. Some examples of their topics: snowmelt-runoff modelling; modelling of contaminant leaching in soils; imaging spectrometry of water quality; water balance of irrigated regions; etc.

Activities in research

My research interest is focusing on the application of geo-information for the monitoring and management of very dynamic riverine wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions (http://www.itc.nl/research/). This includes the modelling of the hydrological system of wetlands, coupling these models to ecological models, and using remote sensing and GIS for the monitoring of the processes.
