Biography

Ricardo Carrillo Muñoz is a postdoctoral fellow at Umeå University, specializing in fluvial geomorphology. His background in forestry and extensive research experience have led him to focus on sediment transport dynamics in suspended bedload environments within glaciated basins. He has engaged in various hydrological projects in Chilean Patagonia, where he worked to validate several hydrological models. At Umeå University, he is a key contributor to the Wate2Place project, which aims to create stable natural landforms in areas disturbed by mining through a geomorphic approach. He is specifically involved in two work packages within the project: WP2, which assesses natural landscapes and watercourses to identify suitable reference sites for created geomorphic landscapes, and WP5, which evaluates the geomorphic response of these landscapes by assessing sediment yield and monitoring changes using photogrammetric LiDAR products. He is also a member of the Restoration Ecology research group.
