Research fields
Hydrology
Analysis of water resources' spatial and temporal variability.
This research area aims at:
- analyzing the hydrological response of rivers to climatic and anthropogenic changes over long past periods;
- modeling water resources under future climatic and anthropogenic constraints.
Water use evaluation
Evaluation of water demands for the main water use sectors in light of climate change.
This research aims at analyzing water use past trends to evaluate current water demands and generate future water use scenarios considering the impacts of climate change on agricultural practices and artificial snow-making.
Water resources management
Study of institutional and hydraulic structures to manage water resources.
This research area aims at analyzing institutionnal mechanisms (water allocation, water supply priorities) and hydraulic infrastructures (dams, canals) set up to manage water resources and fulfill water demands.
Integrated water resources modeling
Development of modeling tools to assess the impacts of climatic and anthropogenic changes on water resources at the regional and local scales.
This research aims at developing integrated modeling frameworks to analyze the capacity of water resources to meet water demands under climatic and anthropogenic changes by the short and medium term.
Water state index
Reflexion on relevant indicators to assess water resources' vulnerability to climatic and anthropogenic changes.
This research considers indicators to address rivers' water state in light of increasing water uses and to characterize water stress risks.
