Nadav Peleg

Nadav Peleg is an Eccellenza Assistant Professor at the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST), part of the Faculty of Geosciences and Environment at the Université de Lausanne. He holds a BSc in Geology (2007), MSc in Hydrogeology (2009), and PhD in Hydrology and Water Resources (2014) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prior roles include a postdoctoral position at ETH Zurich and senior researcher status (2020).

His research focuses on hydrometeorological systems across spatial and temporal scales, emphasizing climate change impacts, stochastic downscaling, urban/rural hydrology, and remote sensing analysis. Notable projects include developing high-resolution stochastic models for climate change assessments and evaluating hydrological impacts in Swiss mountain regions.

Recent publications highlight urban climate dynamics, Alpine precipitation patterns, and climate-driven changes in flood risk and agricultural suitability. His work spans interdisciplinary approaches to address environmental challenges under climate change.
