معرفی
Hakan Djuma is an Associate Research Scientist at The Cyprus Institute's Energy, Environment and Water Research Centre (EEWRC). He holds a PhD in Environment and Atmospheric Sciences from Cyprus Institute (2012) and an MSc from the University of Amsterdam (2007). His research focuses on sustainable water management in semi-arid regions, soil erosion mitigation, and pollutant dynamics in soils and sediments.
Dr. Djuma has extensive experience in geohydrology and environmental engineering, including a year as a geohydrological engineer in the Netherlands. His work integrates field observations with advanced modeling techniques (e.g., Noah-MP, WRF-Hydro) to address climate change impacts, water resource management, and landscape sustainability. He has pioneered studies on terraced landscape rehabilitation, tree water dynamics in drought-prone ecosystems, and sedimentation processes in Mediterranean watersheds.
His recent publications emphasize ecohydrological modeling, slope stability analysis in mountain terraces, and the development of smart irrigation strategies. Djuma collaborates internationally on projects related to non-conventional water resources and participatory approaches to environmental management.
While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to soil erosion quantification and terrace maintenance methodologies have advanced practical solutions for Mediterranean agricultural sustainability. His research also explores the dual role of afforestation in water resource management and climate adaptation strategies in water-scarce regions.
