Ramón J. Batalla

Ph.D. in Geography, University of Barcelona and Senior Lecturer at the University of Lleida since 1999; Head of the Fluvial Dynamics Research Group –RIUS (Ref. 2014SGR645, Catalan Government) and Head of the Hydrological Processes Section at the ICRA. I have been involved in research and teaching on Fluvial Hydrology and Geomorphology for 25 years. My main expertise is on Fluvial Geomorphology, with research developed on monitoring and modelling river processes, especially sediment transport in both free-flowing and regulated rivers, Eco-Geomorphology and flood risk analysis. I have published more than 110 original research articles in peer-reviewed international and national journals, and have edited 40 book chapters and books. I have been involved (as PI and/or participant) in 30 independent research projects funded, between others, by the Spanish Ministry of Science, the European Union, and the NERC (UK) and DFG (Germany). I promote the set up and have been responsible of the experimental basins of the Ribera Salada (since 1998) and the Isabena (since 2001) basins, as well as of the research in the lower River Ebro (2002-2012), to monitor flows and sedimentary processes in Mediterranean areas. I have been actively collaborated with the Ebro Water Authorities and the Catalan Water Agency, and with hydropower and consultancy companies in a variety of applied projects.
