Sequia y escasez hídrica en Chile - parecidas pero no iguales (El Mostrador)
We cannot solve a problem that we do not fully understand. Water scarcity in a place is the result of a complex interaction between meteorological anomalies, hydrological processes and changes in the use that man makes of the resource. Our current inability to properly analyze and manage water scarcity points out a failure in our understanding of the problem as a whole, and to inadequate data and tools to monitor the evolution of water over time.

My Caption
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of La Frontera. I hold a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Trento (Italy) and completed postdoctoral training at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. I have more than 20 years of experience in water resources research and have previously served as an Associate Researcher at the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR)2 and as a member of the Earth Sciences Assessment Group of the Chilean National Research and Development Agency (ANID).
My research lies at the interface of hydrology, data science, and environmental sciences, with a particular focus on the use of gridded datasets and open-source tools to investigate droughts, extreme events, and water-related impacts of global change.
I work across spatial and temporal scales to improve the understanding of catchment-scale hydrological processes and to translate this knowledge into operational modelling, forecasting, and early-warning systems that support robust environmental decision-making.
