My research objective concerns the terrestrial water cycle of medium to large river basins and investigates the effect of climate and global change on water resources and hydrologic regimes, including floods and droughts. My areas of interest include the parameterization of hydrologic processes for hydrological models and uncertainty analysis of environmental models; satellite remote sensing for rainfall estimation, surface water, scenario and probabilistic led approaches for evaluating impact of climate change in water availability; eco-hydrology, landslide studies, landscape evolution studies. Hydrological models, global data sets, GIS, Data visualization tools and remote sensing tools are typical components of my research work.
