Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHéctor Nieto is a tenured scientist based in Madrid with over a decade of expertise in remote sensing of evapotranspiration, combining multiangular and multitemporal thermal infrared data with radiative transfer models. He has led applied research across academia and industry—from postdoctoral work in Copenhagen to consulting and his current role at CSIC—bridging satellite, airborne and ground sensors (notably ESA Sentinel products) to improve irrigation management and data assimilation into hydrological and crop models. His background in forestry engineering and a PhD in Geography underpin a strong interdisciplinary approach, integrating UAV-based measurements and hyperspectral imagery into operational modelling. Colleagues value his ability to turn complex physical models into practical tools for water management and agricultural decision-making.
