Thomas Pulka

Thomas Pulka is a researcher at the Institute of Hydrology and Water Management within the Department of Landscape, Water and Infrastructure at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on high-alpine hydrological processes, particularly precipitation correction modeling, snow dynamics, and climate change impacts on water cycles.

• Education: Master of Science in Environment and Bioresources Management (2018–2021), Technical Management with Environmental Engineering specialization (2012–2015), Bachelor in High Tech Manufacturing with Social Systems management (2011–2012)

His research emphasizes improving runoff forecasts for hydropower generation through snow cover modeling and addressing water level fluctuations in Kenyan Rift Valley lakes. Current projects include spatiotemporal precipitation analysis and glacier melt contributions to runoff.

Key collaborations include work with VERBUND Trading GmbH and the European Geosciences Union (EGU). His publications highlight applications of conceptual hydrological models and snow depth pattern analysis in high-alpine catchments.
