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.
