Marius Floriancic

Marius Floriancic is a Lecturer at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on catchment hydrology, ecohydrology, and water resources management, integrating field investigations with large-scale data analysis to understand hydrological processes across the water cycle. He leads projects such as the WaldLab Forest Experimental Site and the Groundwater Lab 'Kappelen,' exploring water movement dynamics in forests and mountainous regions.

Notable projects include the CRYOsphere Science Concluding in new Observations and Productive Exploitation (CryoSCOPE) (2025–2029) and studies on low-flow characteristics and groundwater-seepage mechanisms. His work emphasizes isotopic tracing to quantify water sources and seasonal dynamics in ecosystems.

Key research contributions include analyses of tree water uptake mechanisms, new water fractions in soil, and the role of forest-floor litter in precipitation cycling. His publications span journals like Hydrology & Earth System Sciences and Ecohydrology, with awards including Editor's Highlight Collections and top-downloaded paper recognitions.

Floriancic collaborates on initiatives like the CAMELS-CH database, advancing hydro-meteorological data integration for Swiss catchments. His experimental sites and field-based approaches highlight a commitment to bridging micro-scale processes with macroscale environmental challenges.
