Analysis of flood risk at different scales, with particular attention to those produced by Mediterranean fluvial systems. Hazard, vulnerability and risk mapping.
The particularities of Mediterranean hydrology are studied, with special attention to the functioning of watercourses and gullies, in the current context of climate change.
This line covers the analysis, using numerical modelling, remote sensing and climate data, of the dynamic factors and processes that trigger meteorological hazards (torrential rains, forest fires and extreme temperatures) in the Mediterranean, in order to improve their prediction.
Study of torrential rainfall episodes, at different time scales. The episodes are studied in relation to the genetic factors that have produced them, as well as in relation to the intensification factors and their consequences, in hydrological terms. The trends of change that seem to point towards a decrease in the resource and an increase in risk are studied.
