B-EPICC - Brazil East Africa Peru India Climate Capacities (2022 – ongoing). As part of B-EPICC, my objectives are: to analyze and assess the impact of changing climate on the water resources of Peru, to develop new precipitation data for the Amazon Basin, and to analyze the water budget of the Amazon River Basin.
EPICC East Africa Peru India Climate Capacities (2018 – 2021). As part of EPICC hydrology working package group, my objective is to analyze and assess the impact of changing climate on water resources in the upper Amazon river basin (Peru).
