Main Reseach topics:

 

  1. Reconstruction of long-term records on palaeo-hydrological and sediment transport data in ungauged catchments.
  2.  Standardised methods on palaeohydrological data collection and incorporation in climate/global change models. Closer cooperation with climate modellers which may provide the basis for data standardisation in the construction of future climatic and global change scenarios.
  3. Floodwater contribution to water resources in desert and semiarid environments.
  4. Collaboration with social scientists in the analysis of social, economic and cultural implications of extreme hydrological events related to global change.
  5. Historical fluvial changes in relation to geoarchaeology.
  6. River restoration and river engineering.
