Development of soil moisture sensor networks to obtain area-integrated values comparable with soil moisture estimates from space. Obtaining surface water vapour fluxes. Transpiration and Evaporation.
In a scenario of reduced precipitation in the Mediterranean expected for the 21st century, this pioneering line of research studies other water inputs to the hydrological system. The group is working on the analysis of hidden precipitation from fog water and its potential applications.
The particularities of Mediterranean hydrology are studied, with special attention to the functioning of watercourses and gullies, in the current context of climate change.
Use of remote sensing for identification of water scarce areas, drought studies and monitoring, sustainable urban drainage systems.
