My research interest covers broad topics of environmental issues along the aquatic continuum from land to ocean. Particularly, I am interested in small- and large-scale biogeochemical and physical processes in freshwater and marine systems such as primary production and nutrient cycling, thermal stratification and oxygen depletion, sediment and pollutants dynamics, river restoration and coastal erosion. I have a special interest on river impoundment and downstream environmental impacts resulting from dam construction, river system analysis and integrated natural water resources, catchment hydrology and sustainable urban systems. In the context of global climate change, I have a large interest in lakes, rivers and reservoirs as greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) sources closely linked to carbon input via soil erosion and/or eutrophication. I am also interested in models of dam operation to predict the impact of water storage on downstream rivers and wetlands together with cost analyses and mitigation strategies to minimize the long-term emission rates.
