Study of the hydrological response of mountain systems to climate change and climate variability. We focus on the lapse rates of meteorological variables derived from the topography and elevation of mountain terrain, and on the hydrological implications, including liquid and solid precipitation, snow accumulation and melt, and evapotranspiration.
