Research group: Surface Hydrology and Erosion
My research focuses on hydrology and global change in Mediterranean environments with a strong emphasis on understanding the spatio-temporal variability of the hydrological response and the dynamics of water fluxes and residence times at the plot and catchment scale. Throughout my career, I have combined empirical (hydrometric approximations, environmental tracers,…) and modelling approaches at different spatio-temporal scales in order to investigate the hydrological functioning of Mediterranean headwater catchments and their potential alteration due to future land-cover and climate changes.
LIFE CLIMARK
Forest management promotion for climate change mitigation through the design of a local market of climate credits
Forests play a crucial role in carbon balancing. However, in recent years carbon sink saturation have been observed. To reverse this trend and help fighting climate change, the objective of the project is to increase the carbon sink capacity of Mediterranean forests by fostering the mitigating effects of multifunctional forest management through the creation of a climate credit market.

TransHyMed
Spatio-temporal patterns of water transfer in Mediterranean headwaters
TransHyMed studys the role of tree stemflow as a hotspot of soil moisture and preferential flow, and analyse the spatiotemporal patterns of diverse runoff contributing water compartments. The connexions of these two objectives will further facilitate the analysis of the role of forest cover on plot and catchment hydrological processes. The project combines hydrometric monitoring and environmental water tracing at diverse spatial scales using the Vallcebre research catchments, representative of Mediterranean headwaters as a field laboratory
