Our group focuses on the relationship between water and extreme weather events in regions characterised by scarcity of water as well as the impact of climate change on such interactions. The research lies at the boundary between hydrology, climatology, atmospheric sciences, and surface processes in environments ranging from vast barren deserts to Mediterranean catchments.

Specific topics we deal with are

1. Rainstorms and flood-producing processes in the eastern Mediterranean

2. Rainfall patterns in past and future climates

3. Desert lakes

4. Stochastic and conceptual sedimentology modelling

5. Triggers of desert heavy precipitation

6. Extreme rainfall and floods in fragile environments

7. Sub-catchment impacts of climate change on streamflow

The interdisciplinary research we do combines the development of new tools, data analysis and collection, and modelling of climatic- and hydrologic-related phenomena. We study the underlying mechanisms and analyse their past, current, and future impacts in a dynamically changing environment, on timescales ranging from minutes to millennia, encompassing the intricacies of short-term events and long-term trends.
