My research lives at the interface of large-scale hydrology, glaciology and climate change — combining process-based models with machine learning to study glacier evolution and water security across Patagonia and beyond.

Research Themes

Glaciology & Glacier Hydrology

Global and regional glacier evolution, runoff projections, ice dynamics and lake-terminating systems.

Large-Scale Hydrology & Climate Impacts

Climate impacts on water resources, hydrological droughts, and freshwater inputs to coastal systems.

Deep Learning for Earth Systems

Deep learning for streamflow-drought buffering, AI/ML prediction and reproducible workflows.

Open Science & Data

Open hydrometeorological datasets (PatagoniaMet), reproducible research and open-source glacier tools.
