Biography

Francina Dominguez is a hydroclimatologist whose work focuses on the interactions between land and atmosphere, particularly regarding the impacts of climate change on hydrology due to human modifications of land surfaces and greenhouse gas emissions. Her primary research lines involve examining land-atmosphere interactions from two perspectives: the effect of climate variability and change, with an emphasis on extreme events, on surface hydrology, and the influence of changes in surface hydrology on climate. Dominguez has been influential in advancing the understanding of how climate variability and change affect hydrometeorological processes and precipitation patterns.
