About

Adina graduated from the University of Granada (Spain) with a BSc in Environmental Sciences and continued her studies with a pre-MSc in Geological Engineering and a joint MSc in Geological Hazards at the University of Barcelona and Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain). Her Master’s project was carried out in the Institute of Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and focused on the study of geomorphic indicators controlling channel widening during flash floods affecting the uppermost areas of selected European rivers. After graduating she collaborated with the Earth Sciences international journal Geologica Acta as a Managing Editor. She is currently a PhD candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, working on the Identification of Critical Locations to Flooding in Mountain Rivers and its use in the Optimization of Hydraulic Models for the Visualization of Flash Floods in Steep Rivers (Geomorphology, Hydraulic Engineering, Hydroinformatics) within the World of Wild Waters project. On the side of research, she actively participates in IAHR Scandinavia Young Professionals Network (founding member and acting president). She also holds the role of Norwegian National Representative as a Young Geomorphologist in GeoNorth (the Nordic Group Member of the International Association of Geomorphology, IAG).
