Martin Glas

Martin Glas is a researcher at the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering, Hydraulics and River Research, part of the Department für Landschaft, Wasser und Infrastruktur at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on numerical modeling of river hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and morphological changes, particularly along the Danube River. He is actively involved in EU-funded and national research projects addressing sediment management, river restoration, and ecological impacts of hydraulic structures.

His research interests include Hydraulic Engineering, River Morphodynamics, Sediment Transport, Numerical Modeling, Ecohydraulics, and Fish Larval Dispersal. His work integrates advanced computational simulations with field data to understand and optimize river engineering solutions.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in numerical modeling of groyne fields, reservoir sedimentation, and vegetation-hydrodynamics interactions. His contributions span large-scale river systems like the Danube and the Niger, with applications in sediment management, low-flow regulation, and ecological habitat design. He frequently presents at major international conferences such as IAHR, EGU, and River Flow.

Martin Glas serves as a reviewer for scientific journals including Journal of Ecohydraulics and Scientific Reports, and is a member of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). He has collaborated on multiple interdisciplinary research projects funded by the EU, FWF, and national agencies, focusing on sustainable water management and river restoration.

He is involved in academic service through conference presentations and peer review, and his research supports both engineering and ecological objectives in river management. No formal advising roles or awards are listed in the available data.
