Hi, I’m Jose from Colombia. I’m a geological engineer with an Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degree in Groundwater and Global Change- Impacts and Adaptation. I obtained my PhD in agro-engineering from Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. My research investigated the regional impact of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) in an aquifer in rural Spain. In RESHAPE, I will assess drought development and explore potential drought drivers (e.g., climate or abstractions) in the case study areas. To this end, I will primarily use data and time series analysis of groundwater levels. I will also investigate the effect of adaptation measures on drought and flood risk using predominantly socio-hydrological modeling. I will conduct this research in parallel with my GroundedExtremes project research. Apart from regional hydrogeology and drought, I am interested in the vadose zone and soil science.
