Prof. Dr. Sc. Ivana Herceg Bulić is a Full Professor at the Department of Geophysics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb. She is based in office 318 and can be reached at +385 1 460 5932 or ihercegb@gfz.hr. Her academic career is centered on meteorology and climatology with a particular focus on urban climate systems and their interaction with broader climate patterns.
Her research interests span several key areas in atmospheric science:
- Urban climatology and urban heat island effects
- Climate change impacts on urban environments
- ENSO teleconnections and North Atlantic climate variability
- Climate modeling and predictability
- Forest fire risk assessment in relation to climate conditions
- Bioclimatic conditions in urban settings
Prof. Herceg Bulić's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on urban climate challenges in Croatia and the broader Mediterranean region. Her recent work examines heat load in cities like Zagreb and Dubrovnik using multi-scale approaches that combine mobile measurements, satellite imagery, and climate modeling. She has increasingly focused on climate change impacts, future projections, and adaptation strategies for urban environments, particularly examining how local climate zones influence thermal conditions. Her research also maintains a strong connection to broader climate dynamics, particularly examining how tropical sea surface temperatures influence European climate patterns through atmospheric teleconnections.
Prof. Herceg Bulić actively contributes to several significant research projects related to climate science in Croatia, including those examining urban climate adaptation and climate change impacts. Her work bridges fundamental climate science with practical applications for urban planning and climate resilience.
She teaches across multiple academic levels:
- Undergraduate: Dynamic Meteorology II, Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
- Graduate: Selected Chapters in Meteorology, Selected Topics in Climatology, Seminar in Climatology
- Doctoral: Atmospheric Predictability and Climate System Modelling, Seminar in Geophysics
