Welcome to the Laboratory of Ecohydrology

The Laboratory ECHO has been established in 2008 under the direction of Prof. Andrea RINALDO.

It replaced the laboratory HYDRAM.

ECHO focuses on research at the interface of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology under an integrated framework of analysis with an aim for a general theory.
