Markus Eder

Markus Eder is a Researcher at the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and River Research, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, Austria. He specializes in flood risk management, floodplain evaluation, and climate change impacts on hydrology.

Research Interests include integrated regional flood risk assessments, hydraulic modeling of river systems, and analyzing the effectiveness of structural and non-structural flood protection measures. His work focuses on balancing floodplain preservation with land-use development under uncertain future conditions.

Publications highlight his contributions to the RegioFEM method, a framework for evaluating floodplain management strategies. This includes a 2021 case study on the Raab River in Austria, which assesses future flood scenarios incorporating

• projected flood protection measures
• settlement development
• climate change-induced runoff increases
