My research is focused on intra-basin dominant hydrological processes during extreme hydrometeorological conditions. I aim to 1) understand the relation between runoff contributing areas spatiotemporal evolution and the outlet discharge, 2) identify the role of basin properties on the generation and development of runoff contributing areas, and 3) study the basin hydrological response under different rainfall conditions. In addition, I am interested in: geomorphological processes, rockfalls, cosmogenic nuclides, exposure age dating, and Dead Sea fault earthquakes which were the subject of my M.Sc. thesis.
