Current work

In my capacity as a hydro-ecological modeller, I am working on these main projects:

  • Flow regimes, physical habitat and ecological response
  • Ecological Consequences of Floods (EA)
  • SCENES (EU)

Research interests

Current interests include: hydrological and/or spatial information relevant to ecological studies (e.g. Indicators of Hydrological Alteration); large-scale climate-flow-ecology association (PhD part-time, University of Birmingham); hydraulic geometry.

Previously, I have also been involved in spatial information for hydrometric network design and appraisal.
