We focus on Hydrology, Remote Sensing, and Water Resources. We use innovative science-based solutions for integrated water resources management, using Hydroclimatic Data, Earth Observations, Water System Models, Climate Models, Geospatial models, Machine Learning, and Participatory Models. We also conduct researches on investigating water-related issues, their cascading impacts and risk management strategies within a multisector system. We are working on other few research domains, including
1) Hydrological Modeling
2) Climate Change Impact Assessment
3) Spatiotemporal data fusion & Spatial downscaling
4) Land Cover Land Use Changes
5) Urban Heat Island and heatwaves
6) Cascading hazards
7) Vegetation Greening and Browning
Our ongoing projects include 1) NASA LCLUC, 2) CDRI Urban Cooling, 3) ERDC/Woolpert Project
