López Moreno, Juan Ignacio

Biography

Snow hydrology: Temporal analysis of hidroclimatic variables, spatial distribution of snowpack in mountainous and forested areas, the energy balance of the snow pack and analyses of river regimes in mountain areas.

Research Interest

Climatic change: Quantification and assessment of the effect of climate change simulated by regional Climate Models (RCMs) on the hydrological response of mountain areas. Evaluation of the effect of climate change on winter tourism. Water resources management: Assessment of the effect of the hydrological variability and change in headwaters on the management of large reservoirs, and the implications on water supply to the lowlands- Recent evolution of the Pyrenean Glaciers: Monitoring the recent changes occurred in the extension and volume of the Pyrenean Glaciers and its relationship with climate evolution
