Research Interests

My research interests aim to uncover interactions, mechanisms and feedbacks among various components of natural and human-impacted systems. My group strives to promote both the development of process-oriented models of water, energy and element cycles at various scales and the integration of data and models. The specific foci are land surface hydrology, ecohydrology, floods and climate impact assessments, with a growing emphasis on uncertainty quantification in all these research domains. In the years to come, we will apply both rigorous computational models and field data collection to better understand:

  • water, energy and carbon dynamics in tropical and polar ecosystems
  • coupled processes of surface-subsurface hydrology and flooding hydrodynamics in natural and managed environments
  • impacts and feedbacks associated with the propagation of climate and weather dynamics through hydrologic systems
