The Hydroclimate Extremes Lab studies how floods, extreme rainfall, droughts, heatwaves, and compound events are changing in a warming climate. We combine climate observations, model simulations, hydrological modelling, machine learning, and probabilistic risk analysis to understand these hazards, improve prediction, and assess future risks.
Our work connects physical climate processes with human exposure and vulnerability. Current interests include drought-heatwave compound events, dry-wet abrupt alternation, global flood prediction and projection, river-network modelling, and the unequal impacts of emerging hydroclimate risks.
We welcome motivated students, research assistants, and postdoctoral researchers interested in hydroclimate extremes, hydrological modelling, climate change, machine learning, GIS, remote sensing, or environmental data science. Please feel free to send an email with your CV and a short description of your research interests.
