Effects of land uses and climate variability on the water quality of Mediterranean rivers: towards a regional vision of global change

Aguilera Becker, Rosana (Date of defense: 2015-03-10)

This work investigated the effect of global change phenomena, particularly land use and climatic changes, on water quality patterns in Mediterranean rivers. A hybrid process-based and statistical model (SPARROW) was applied ...

Stream biofilm responses to flow intermittency

Timoner Amer, Xisca (Date of defense: 2014-05-05)

Streams experiencing a recurrent non-flow phase (i.e., flow intermittency) are characteristic of world regions with arid and semi-arid climates, where Mediterranean regions are part of. During non-flow streambed sediments, ...

Transport, distribution and fate of emerging contaminants in wastewater-receiving rivers under multiple stress conditions

Mandarić, Ladislav (Date of defense: 2018-10-24)

The main aim of this thesis was to establish a link between the urban origin of chemical contamination (e.g. PhACs) and other stressors, particularly associated to water scarcity (Chapter 1, 2, and 3). Research has been ...
