Scholar-generated biography
Sara Bonetti is a researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) specializing in Ecohydrology and Geomorphology. Her work focuses on understanding the interactions between hydrological processes, soil properties, and vegetation dynamics. Bonetti's research includes the development of models for soil moisture competition, hydro-pedotransfer functions, and the impact of climate change on water sustainability. She has contributed to global databases of soil hydraulic properties and explored the effects of soil erosion and landscape evolution. Her studies also address uncertainties in hydrological modeling and the role of vegetation in shaping hydrological responses. Bonetti's research integrates field observations, machine learning, and geospatial analysis to advance ecohydrological and geomorphological understanding.
