Research group at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and CEDEUS
We study how urban soils store and transmit water and carbon, and how these processes can explain the biogeophysics of soils in the city.
Characterization of soil water retention curves (SWRCs) in urban soils.
Hydrological performance of green infrastructure such as green roofs, urban parks, gardens, etc.
Carbon dynamics, biological activity, and soil physical properties of urban soils.
We are part of CEDEUS: Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable. A research centre hosted jointly by Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad de Concepción, funded by ANID. Our work links soil biophysics with urban planning, climate adaptation, and environmental policy.
