As a Geographical Hydrologist who sees things from the water balance and how this is impacted by people. I am interested in Man's impact on the Earth and in Climate Change, Desertification, Land degradation, soil erosion, badlands, wildfires, natural history, complex systems and in water and soil management and use.

Recent de-velopments in ecosystem thinking have pointed to the combined ...

Gulley's were measured all over the world in different soils that resulted in relationships between different materials, climate and hydrology to be understood. When this paper was uploaded to research net it was downloaded 777 times in a few days. Also this research explains the link to climate and land use. Also soil conservation and compaction trigger different types of process. Critical conditions for different types of gully can be identified. I would be interested in helping anyone to learn about the findings and their relevance to them.

The theses provides data for sites that can be viewed today 20 years later. Thanks are due to Prof Calvo Cases who contributed to the supervision. Also the EU is thanked for the ERMES project that compared transects in Alicante, Crete and Israel.

The aggregate stability and microaggegation patterns were studied and related to soil properties. The Desertification Response Unit approach was applied at different scales. This is a target area for research. This is draft version and the data collected are in a different file.
The measurement of Functional Performance indicators near Mertola Portugal , 2006

A reseaarch program was carried out to investigate this at catchment slope and patch scale. Indicators are field mesurements of infiltration or the lack of runoff as a rill. This paper was published in an edited form in a book by Maria Roxo. The net longer paper describes the field measurements and is a useful resource for students or practitioners

The impact of erosion. Field experiments are important because models cant collect the complexity o
