Background
Dr Momblanch is a water and environmental engineer specialised on catchment-scale water resources systems analysis. Her research focuses on the development of novel water management approaches, aided by modelling, to understand the trade-off between human and environmental water uses, and to discover new ways to reconcile and balance competing demands. She has developed innovative integrated methods to inform global change impacts assessment and adaptation in high mountain regions through a range of NERC funded projects, promoted the application of systems approaches to water management leading several QR GCRF projects, and expanded the capabilities of existing models to better capture physical, eco-hydrological and human-nature interactions supported by NERC, EPSRC, and EU and other international funding.
Current activities
Her current research interests are related to the integration of natural capital and nature-based solutions into water resource systems planning to support sustainable water management and maximise societal benefits.
