Description of scientific projects
The Climate, Hydrology and Water Resources (CHWR) - Modeling and Synthesis Group is interested in understanding, modeling and forecasting hydrological fluxes at large spatial scales based on land surface and climatic indices. Other topics of research interests are water and energy management that includes water and power demand prediction using climate information.The group also focuses on synthesis and data analyses in identifying the underlying drivers of water supply and water demand. Current research sponsors include National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NC Water Resources Research Institute.
