Our GoalWe tend to apply an integrated hydrologic + informatic (=hydroinformatic) approach for large-scale ecosystem modeling, management, and resilience studies, aiming at a Next-generation Geoscience paradigm. To achieve this goal, we conduct science-based and use-inspired research in collaborations with stakeholders and some of the leading scientists in the field. Learn more

Dr. Rajib will co-lead a new $1M National Science Foundation project targeting next-gen Open Science paradigm in climate, water, and environmental sustainability. Funded by NSF's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, the H2I Lab will develop a cyber-enabled framework where researchers will train on big data analytics, and learn how to integrate these data into simulation models and Artificial Intelligence (AI) using advanced cloud computing technologies.
