catchment hydrology, ecohydrology, water resources

My research integrates small scale field investigations and large scale data evaluation to understand hydrological processes of water movement through different compartements of the water cycle (subsurface - surface - vegetation - atmosphere).

 

Projekte:

since 2020   Water movement through the forest water cycle

2025 - 2029   CRYOsphere Science Concluding in new Observations and Productive Exploitation (CryoSCOPE)

2017 - 2019   Low-flow characteristics across Switzerland

 

Experimental Sites:

WaldLab Forest Experimental Site (ZH)

Groundwater Lab "Kappelen" (BE)
