Welcome to the Hydrology Laboratory – LabHidro!
The Hydrology Laboratory is intended to support hydrological studies, monitoring hydrological variables (rain, runoff, interception, infiltration and evapotranspiration) and sedimentological variables (water erosion and sediment transport) and environmental modeling of hydrogeomorphological processes.
The main objective is to understand the interactions between hydrological, geomorphological and biological processes in watersheds.
Area of expertise: Environmental Analysis and Management, ‘Natural’ Disasters, Surface Hydrology, Hydrosedimentology and Hydrogeomorphology.
