Michael Kuhn

Michael Kuhn is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He holds roles in the Office of the Provost and serves as Postgraduate Coordinator (Coursework). His research focuses on geodesy, hydrology, and climate science, with a strong emphasis on satellite data integration, groundwater modeling, and regional climate impacts. Kuhn's work spans topics including gravity field modeling, remote sensing applications, and geophysical data analysis. He has contributed to projects like the AUSHYDROID vertical datum model and studies on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam's environmental impacts. Kuhn's publications reflect interdisciplinary approaches, combining machine learning with geospatial data to address challenges in water resource management and climate variability.
