Research Projects

view by theme

We are broadly interested in the interactions among water, ecosystems, and people.
.
Our core research themes include:
  • Safeguarding Natural Ecosystems
  • Sustainably Managing Urban Stormwater
  • Increasing Resilience to Hydrologic Hazards
The tools and approaches we use include:
  • Hydrologic Modeling
  • Empirical Data (including field and lab data collection)
  • Stakeholder Engagement
