We are water, weather, and computational enthusiasts who do applications-oriented computational hydrometeorology and hydroclimatology research:

  • Measurement and prediction of extreme rainfall at high resolution using all sources: rain gages,  weather radar, satellites, and weather and climate models.
  • Understanding the roles of rainfall and land surface process variability and interactions to produce floods at all scales using high-resolution multi-scale supercomputer-based watershed models.
  • Interfacing with meteorologists and climate scientists to translate projected changes in extreme precipitation from regional and global climate models into projections of future risks.
  • Developing practical tools for improved probabilistic rainfall and flood hazard and risk estimation.
