Research topics

  •  Meso-scale hydrological modeling in mountain regions 
    •  Modeling of snow and ice processes at the catchment scale
    •  Geostatistical methods applied to the interpolation of meteorological forcings
    •  Evaluation of water resources in present and future climate (evolution of direct runoff, snowmelt and icemelt components)

  •  Calibration and "validation" strategies for hydrological models
    •  Error models and evaluation criteria for hydrological simulations
    •  Stochastic inverse methods and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms: multi-response (temporal, frequential, etc.), multi-site, multi-variable (streamflow, snow, ice, latent heat flux, soil moisture, etc.)

  •  Geomorphology applied to hydrology
    •  Evaluation of morphological descriptors for the predetermination of streamflow quantiles and the regionalisation of hydrological models
    •  Evaluation of a geomorphological approach to subgrid parameterization of glacier flow at the catchment scale

  •  Karst hydrology
