Dr Vilim Filipovic
Research Fellow, Soil Hydrology/Ecohydrology
Dr Vilim Filipovic has an MSc degree in agroecology and a PhD in environmental soil physics and hydrology from University of Zagreb, Croatia.
He focuses on understanding transport processes in soil by applying novel modelling and monitoring approaches to quantify environmental pressures on soil and water resources. The soil vadose (critical) zone represents one of the most complex terrestrial systems. The proper identification and quantification of critical zone processes are crucial for sustainable environment. Numerical modelling can be used to that aim as a valuable predicting tool combined with laboratory analytics and extensive field observations.
Vilim is currently Associate Editor of Soil Science Society of America and Vadose Zone Journals and is actively involved in different international scientific groups focusing on vadose zone processes and numerical modelling. He holds an Associate Professor position at University of Zagreb. He was the PI of several projects focusing on the critical zone science within the soil-plant-atmosphere nexus.
