I have a background in forestry, but since 2013 my main research area has developed into fluvial geomorphology. I have worked on sediment transport dynamics of both suspended and bedload in glaciated basins, using continuous indirect monitoring and direct measurements. I have also worked on hydrological projects on different rivers in Chilean Patagonia to validate hydrological models.
At Umeå university I am working in the Wate2Place project, which aims to create stable and natural landforms in mining disturbed areas through a geomorphic approach. I support WP2 and WP5. WP2 aims to assess natural landscapes and watercourses to identify suitable reference sites for the created geomorphic landscape. On the other hand, WP5 aims to evaluate the geomorphic response of the created geomorphic landscape by assessing sediment yield with continuos monitoring and geomorphic changes in the reclaimed area using photogrametric and LiDAR products.
