Eduardo Noriega has recently completed his Master’s degree in Manaus, Brazil, within the climate and environment postgraduate program at the National Institute of Amazonian Research (INPA). Here, he worked on hydrological modeling of the Andes-Amazonas transition in Bolivia.

At PIK, he will collaborate with Carlos Fernández Palomino to enhance his research (skills) in the Andes-Amazon. In particular, he aims at improving the modeling of this complex terrain. Since his research is based at the heart of Amazon basin (Manaus city), he is keen to keep learning and enhancing the scientific knowledge of the directional variables of the Amazon river system: water and sediment flow.

In case you have any questions or would like to collaborate with Eduardo, please feel free to contact epicc@pik-potsdam.de
