Sabine Attinger

Sabine Attinger is a Professor (W3) at the University of Potsdam and Head of the Department of Computational Hydrosystems at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). Her research focuses on multi-scale terrestrial systems, stochastic hydrological modeling, and geostatistical characterization of subsurface processes. She leads projects like 4DHydro (EO-data integration) and natESM (national Earth system modeling).

Key research themes include groundwater dynamics, compound environmental risks, and smart monitoring systems. Her scientific awards feature the

• 2023 ASCE-EWRI Best Case Study Award
• 2017 UFZ Research Award

She collaborates with institutions like ETH Zurich, Stanford University, and CASUS. Her work bridges hydrological modeling, contaminant transport, and climate adaptation strategies through projects like

• DestinE (EU digital twin)
• MOSES (mobile observation systems)
• TERENO (environmental observatories)
