[acerca[about] [à propos]

I am a research hydrologist with a special interest in hydroclimatology, watershed hydrology, mountain hydrology, hydrologic engineering and arid zones. In this site you can find the resources related to my activities as well as a "hydrologic blog" with some posts in english with divers analysis. Be welcome!

Hydrology: Study of water / Branch of earth science and enviromental sciences that deals with water movement, distribution and quality / Study of cycling of water on Earth, it also refers to the cycling of liquids on other planets. (SourceNature)
