Research interests

My main research interest is soil erosion. I focus on spatially-distributed soil erosion models and particularly on means to evaluate them. I am interested on representing the uncertainty of large-scale erosion models and on the observational data used for model testing. I am also interested in a variety of soil erosion and sediment transport monitoring techniques, such as sediment fingerprinting and erosion plot experiments.
