Estanislao Pujades Garnes
Description
Estanislao Pujades Garnes is a researcher in hydrogeology whose work explores the role of groundwater in addressing some of the major environmental challenges of our time, including water scarcity, climate change adaptation, urban sustainability, and the energy transition. His research combines advanced numerical modelling and process-based understanding to investigate groundwater quantity and quality dynamics across scales, from urban aquifers to regional systems.
He has developed pioneering research on the interaction between groundwater and underground infrastructures, subsurface energy technologies, contaminant transport, and climate-driven impacts on water resources. By integrating physical, thermal, chemical, and mechanical processes, his work provides innovative solutions for the sustainable management of subsurface resources.
Beyond scientific excellence, his research is characterized by a strong translational component, bridging fundamental science with societal needs. Through collaborations with public administrations, utilities, and industry, he contributes to the development of practical solutions that enhance water security, environmental resilience, and sustainable urban development.
