Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to mix work from multiple researchers sharing the same name, making it hard to describe a single coherent research program. The clearest recurring theme concerns soil erosion, particularly gullies (channels cut into land by concentrated water flow) and check dams (small barriers built to slow water and trap sediment), studied using tools like drones (unoccupied aircraft), 3D point clouds, and GIS mapping, mostly in agricultural landscapes in Spain and Namibia. Other publications in the list, on topics like electric motor design, voxel rendering, and student dropout, likely belong to different individuals with the same name.

Publication output has generally declined over the last decade, dropping from around 11 per year in 2017 to roughly 1-2 per year in recent years, with an average of 1.4 papers per year over the last five years.
