World of Wild Waters
Project that aims to improve holistically the communication flash flood and landslide hazards by implementing physics-based visualization of numerical modelling that provides a realistic risk perception. The goal is to trigger better decision-making.
TryggElv (Safe Rivers)
This project aims to automate the mapping of critical points in streams and steep waterways by combining the use of and knowledge of hydraulic modeling with information from GIS. This helps assessing the cost-benefit of flood prevention & management.

IAHR Scandinavia Young Professionals Network YPN Adina Moraru
Video recording of the presentation of IAHR Scandinavia Young Professionals Network to HydroCen FME (Norwegian Research Centre for Hydropower Technology) during their Researchers Day in spring 2020.
EGU General Assembly 2023
Adina (National representative for Young Geomorphologists in the Nordic chapter of International Association of Geomorphology) presented her research at EGU in Vienna. She also met with other young geomorphologists representatives and IAG members.
Highlights EGU23 – OSPP award nomination
Adina was nominated for the Outstanding Student and PhD canditate Presentation award at EGU23. Her networking was very fruitful and she was invited to write an international grant and be part of the scientific committee of a conference.
Flood papers alert 2023
Adina has published two journal papers recently, one in the Science of the Total Environment (Elsevier) and another in the Journal of Hydroinformatics (IWA Publishing). Her research links closely with the storm Hans and flooding in Scandinavia.
