Interests
Understanding of processes and the effects of land use change in the (eco)hydrology of mountain ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales through the use of hydrometeorological information, environmental tracers (isotopic and geochemical) in combination with modeling techniques. Specific interests: identification of the flow paths water follows through hydrological systems, characterization of water sources that produce surface runoff, determination of how hydrological dynamics influence biogeochemical processes. *Representative of the Early Career Committee of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences.
