Sophie Lücking

Sophie Lücking is a researcher at the Institute of Hydrology and Water Management within the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). She specializes in hydrological modeling and climate change impact assessment in high-alpine regions.

Her research focuses on:

• Glacier melt contribution to runoff
• Precipitation correction models
• Snow-hydrology coupling
• Climate change effects on water resources
• Reservoir inflow predictions
• Alpine watershed management

Key collaborative projects include HyMELT-CC: Hydro power Impact on Electricity Sector with the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology. Her work addresses climate adaptation strategies for hydropower in Austria's glaciated regions.

Recent publications analyze:

• Improved hydrological modeling through precipitation corrections
• Runoff dynamics in Malta and Ziller valleys
• Glacier mass balance sensitivity
• Snow-hydrology integration
• Data calibration techniques

She collaborates with researchers across Austria, Germany, and Spain on climate change mitigation and water resource optimization.
