Dr. Johann FANK Scientific Director, Resources - Institute for Water, Energy and Sustainability, JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH, Graz
CV
| Univ. Doz. Dr. Johann Fank, joined the Institute of Water Resources Management - Hydrogeology and Geophysics at JOANNEUM RESEARCH Lim., Graz, in 1986. He holds a Ph.D. (1985) and the Venia docendi (2000) in geography from the University of Graz. In his post-graduate research Dr. Fank focused on flow and transport processes in the unsaturated and saturated zone of shallow phreatic aquifer systems. Main aspects are set on the interdisciplinary approach using methods in the fields of tracer hydrology, isotope hydrology, hydraulics, soil physics, numerical modeling, mathematics, and statistics. He wrote numerous publications and presented various papers at international and national congresses. Dr. Fank is lecturer at the Universities in Graz and Leoben. Since 2012 he acts as director of the JOANNEUM RESEARCH - RESOURCES - Institute for Water, Energy and Sustainability |
