PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND TERRITORY RNM279

Description

This group of investigation is specialized in the study of surface hydrology. Research objects are various basins in Malaga, Granada and Almeria. Collected field samples are subsequently analyzed and characterized in the soil laboratory. The research group and its 18 members are involved in various collaborations with national universities and universities from Latin-America and Asia. These and other projects have been contributing to the strong experience and curriculum of this group.
