Title:
ABE Biocomplexity Engineering seminar:”Snow hydrology in Mediterranean mountains: from the plot to the global scale”

Bio:
Rafa Pimentel is an Associate Professor at the University of Cordoba, Spain. Civil Engineer by training, he has developed his career around mountain hydrology in Mediterranean areas, combining both hydrological modelling and observations. During his PhD, he explored the parametrization of the interaction between microtopography and snowpack to better understand and model snow in semiarid environments. During his postdoctoral years, he broadened the scope of his research, working at the global scale. Nowadays, he focuses his research on droughts in mountainous areas, from improving understanding to assessing their impacts from a water resources management perspective.
