R Course: Spatiotemporal Data Analysis

From October 20th to 25th, the XXVII Chilean Congress of Hydraulics was held at the Faculty of Engineering of Concepción (FI UdeC). The congress was convened by the Chilean Society of Hydraulic Engineering (SOCHID) and organized by the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Concepción. The event consisted of courses, scientific presentations, and lectures featuring the participation of engineers, academics, and students.

On October 21th, I taught the course Using R for spatio-temporal data analysis: application to daily data CR2Met v2.5, which was attended by undergraduate and graduate students, as well as public and private sector professionals.

Authors
Associate Professor

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of La Frontera, where I lead the Water Resources Observatory Kimün-Ko. I hold a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Trento (Italy) and completed postdoctoral training at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre.

I have more than 20 years of experience in water resources research and have previously served as an Associate Researcher at the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR)2 and as a member of the Earth Sciences Assessment Group of the Chilean National Research and Development Agency (ANID).

My research lies at the interface of hydrology, data science, and environmental sciences, with a particular focus on the use of gridded datasets and open-source tools to investigate droughts, extreme events, and water-related impacts of global change.

I work across spatial and temporal scales to improve the understanding of catchment-scale hydrological processes and to translate this knowledge into operational modelling, forecasting, and early-warning systems that support robust environmental decision-making.
