Research Interests

• My current research, centred around the issue of environmental risk, focuses on the risk of floods and erosion. It intends to analyse, interpret, map and share results about inundations, coastal and fluvial erosion, in the context of climate change. It is specially based on fieldwork and geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing data.
