Seek a simple
physical-statistical understanding of (1) the complicated
interplay between ecologic, hydrologic and climatic aspects of the changing
environment and (2) its role in
governing the water and energy budgets over a spectrum of spatial-temporal
scales, and (3) further
investigations on influences of climate change to hydraulic and water resources
engineering.
Hydroclimate Variability
vs Change:
Evaporation paradox,
hydrologic cycle & climate, multi-model ensemble of
Global Climate Models, statistical
downscaling
Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering:
Global/regional
water and energy balance, climate change and water resources,
extreme rainfall & hydraulic engineering design.
Ecohydrology:
Coupled water,
heat and carbon cycles --model and field experiment, stochastic water balance
model
Statistical Analysis:
Analysis of
variance, time series analysis, signal vs noise, stochastic modeling
