Ecohydrology

The laboratory studies ecohydrology, a discipline that deals with the interactions between hydrology and ecology. Specifically, the Lab studies hydrological controls on fluvial biodiversity, population dynamics, bio-geochemical cycles and water related diseased. Theoretical, modelling and experimental approaches are developed. The main research topics are:

  • Fluvial metabolism;
  • Carbon cycle on watersheds and river networks;
  • Biodiversity and species interaction models in river network and salt-marshes;
  • Modelling of water related diseases;
  • Hydrologic modelling and flood forecasting.
