Water and extremes: Full-time Researcher

Hydraulic Engineer with a Master’s degree in Water Resources and Environment from the University of Chile and a PhD in Hydrology from the University of Melbourne, Australia. Her scientific interests include understanding and characterizing the hydrological cycle and working in interdisciplinary teams to quantify the impacts of climate change on hydrology, ecosystems, and society. She employs quantitative data processing tools and hydrological modeling to address complex issues, including water security in the context of climate change; drought propagation in the hydrological cycle; the impacts of climate, anthropogenic water use, and land-use changes on water provision; sustainable use of groundwater; and water resource management, among others.
