Research Interest

  • numerical models for hydrology, hydrodynamics and water quality
  • nutrient transport in river catchments (trajectories of nitrogen inputs and nitrate outputs)
  • stratification and transport in lakes / reservoirs
  • effect of reservoir management on stratification / water quality
  • measurement of limnophysical  and meteorological parameters
