Our group is interested in the connections between climate, hydrology, land use, and ecological (natural and agricultural) processes. This includes understanding how climate variations and direct human influences interact to alter land surface hydrologic processes at watershed, regional, and global scales. We apply process-based models in integrated modeling frameworks to explore these interactions. Developing these tools necessitates a tightly-integrated interdisciplinary approach; indeed, we believe that the grand challenges of today need to be solved in an interdisciplinary setting.
