Participación en la Conferencia EGU 2017
During the last week of April, I presented two works on the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2017, the most important scientific event of Earth Sciences in Europe.
The first work was Using R for analyzing spatio-temporal datasets: a satellite-based precipitation case study (EGU2017-18343), which was an oral PICO presentation about the use of R, the free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, for analysing different spatio-temporal datasets of precipitation at the Chilean spatail scale.
The second work was the oral presentation Assesing the temporal and spatial performance of satellite-based rainfall estimates across the topographical complex and climatic gradients of Chile (EGU2017-10425), which summarises the main findings about the performance of seven different satellite-based precipitation products over the Chilean territory.
Both works are the product of the international collaboration with researchers from Germany, Costa Rica and Chile on the use of different satellite-based precipitation products as a complement to current ground-based rainfall measurement networks.

Durante la semana del 24 al 28 de Abril, presenté dos trabajos en la conferencia European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2017, el evento científico más importante de Ciencias de la Tierra en Europa.
El primer trabajo fue Using R for analyzing spatio-temporal datasets: a satellite-based precipitation case study (EGU2017-18343), una presentación oral tipo sobre el uso de R, el ambiente estadístico libre, para el análisis de distintos conjuntos de datos espacio-temporales de precipitaciòn a escala nacional (Chile).
El segundo trabajo fue la presentación oral Assesing the temporal and spatial performance of satellite-based rainfall estimates across the topographical complex and climatic gradients of Chile (EGU2017-10425), la cual resume los principales resultados de una comparación exhaustiva de siete productos satelitales de precipitación sobre el territorio de Chile.
Ambos trabajos son producto de la colaboración internacional con investigadores de Alemania, Costa Rica y Chile, sobre el uso de distintos productos satelitales de precipitación como complemento a las actuales redes de medición pluviométrica.
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.
