Diego Fernandez Novoa

DIEGO FERNANDEZ NOVOA is a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Vigo. He is associated with the Marine Research Center of the University of Vigo in Ourense campus, working within the research group FA9 EphysLab (Earth Physics Laboratory).

Research interests focus on hydrology, climate change impact modeling, and remote sensing for coastal and riverine systems. His work includes:

• Flood risk management using numerical simulations
• Machine learning applications for river flow forecasting
• Climate change projections for extreme hydrological events
• Salinity dynamics in estuaries under extreme precipitation
• Hydrodynamic modeling of historical catastrophic floods

Publications reveal expertise in MODIS satellite data applications for turbid plume characterization (Iberian Peninsula, French Atlantic) and interdisciplinary collaborations in oceanography education. His work spans from 2013 to 2025, covering multiscale analyses and knowledge transfer initiatives.
