Maria Kireeva
Position:Senior researcher
Maria Kireeva works as a Senior Researcher at the Center for Information Technologies, BioSense Institute, University of Novi Sad. She obtained her PhD degree in Hydrology, Water Resources, and Geochemistry from Lomonosov Moscow State University in April 2013. Her main research interests are connected with hydrological extremes – droughts and floods, assessments of surface and groundwater resources under changing climate, incorporating machine learning methods and data-driven models in hydrological surveys and forecasts, analyses of hydrological behavior on different scales, creating new algorithms, and software development in geospatial analyses. Maria also focuses on water management in drought conditions and optimizing river runoff regulation.
Between July 2013 and September 2023, Maria was employed at Lomonosov Moscow State University, initially as a Junior Researcher and since 2020 as an Associate Professor at the Land Hydrology Department, Faculty of Geography, Moscow, Russia. During this period, she participated in more than 10 international and Russian national projects as a project leader, principal investigator, and participant. Her work spanned civil protection from hydrological hazards, water resources management in non-stationary climates, Big Data analyses, and implementing machine learning methods for risk management and data-driven modeling. Maria’s contributions resulted in co-authorship in high-impact publications in Science (2017) and Nature (2019, 2022). Additionally, Maria was invited to the Water Sustainability Commission (IGU) and co-organized sessions at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) from 2018 to 2020. She actively participated in the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) Panta Rhei and FRIEND initiatives.
Additionally, Maria has extensive field experience. She organized several expeditions for hydrological engineering surveys in the Arctic and the Far East of Russia, as well as field schools for students of the Land Hydrology department across the Europe and Russia. Currently, Maria’s main research interests include data-driven modeling of hydrological hazards, particularly droughts and their consequences. She is focused on creating early warning systems and algorithms for optimizing water resource management and runoff regulation, as well as studying the interaction between groundwater and surface water in a non-stationary climate.
