The present areas of scientific activity are:
1) Assessment of post-fire runoff and soil erosion mitigation treatments.
2) Statistically-based modelling for identification of runoff and soil erosion key factors
3) Physically-based modelling for soil erosion prediction and identification of emergency intervention areas.
4) High frequency monitoring of soil-erosion related parameters (soil water repellence, soil moisture, soil resistance, etc.), focussing on spatial-temporal patterns and related effects in post-fire soil erosion.
5) Improvement of automated devices for hydrologic data collection, in collaboration with the Nanotechnology Institute (I3N) of the University of Aveiro and other scientific research teams.
6) Upscaling of soil hydrology and erosion from plot to catchment scales.
