Research interests
Professor Foulon’s research focuses on hydrology and hydraulics as applied to integrated water resources management. He is particularly interested in the hydrological modelling of catchment areas, assessing the vulnerability of water resources to extreme events and climate change, and developing decision-support tools for sustainable water management.
