Zusammenfassung der Doktorarbeit / PhD Research Abstract

My research focuses on the development of integrated mechanistic-stochastic methodologies aimed at characterizing watershed dynamics, environmental processes, and hydrogeological hazards. These methodologies encompass non-gridded continuous hydrological models, stochastic rainfall-field simulation, causative classification of runoff and flood events, heavy-tailed distributions, flood frequency analysis, hydrograph recession analyses, and sediment/nutrient transport in catchments. I aim to delve into the ramifications of climate extremes on environmental processes and explore the potential environmental resilience within catchments for proposing ecosystem-based adaptation strategies.
