Natural Infrastructure

Flood reduction and water quality mediation capacities of natural infrastructures are largely disregarded in conventional watershed modeling and management practices. We are filling this knowledge gap.

Large-scale Locally Relevant Flood Modeling

There is little practical value in a so-called large-scale model when that model produces streamflow and inundation maps only along the main river channels. We showed the feasibility of "large-scale yet locally relevant" flood predictions.

Watershed Modeling with Big Data

Remotely sensed Big Data can limit watershed model's tendency to give "right answers for wrong reasons". We developed an advanced SWAT modeling framework which automatically assimilates these emergent datasets.

Cyber-infrastructure for Hydrology 

We develop innovative research approaches and classroom instruction modules for web-based access, integration, sharing, and visualization of hydrologic data, metadata, and model results. Our work contributes to Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reproducible (FAIR) hydrologic sciences.
