A World Where Humans and Nature Are Harmonized

"Managing Water for Humans and Nature"


Welcome to the research page of the Environmental Modeling Lab, from the Department of Environmental Engineering in Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Our mission is truth-telling through unfolding the possibility space and understanding the complexity. The tools to accomplish the mission are sociohydrology for better comprehension of human and nature interactions, physically-based environmental models for better representations of environmental processes, and exponential technologies for better interpretations of environmental big data. 

News and Announcements

Our research group welcomes highly motivated graduate students (environmental modeling/sociohydrology) and undergraduate interns. If you have a serious interest in applying, please contact me at: hanjeong@seoultech.ac.kr
