RIVER The Huning Research Group seeks to better characterize hydrologic processes, fluxes, and states as they interact with built systems, the environment, and people. The group's research combines physical and statistical approaches with observations (e.g., in-situ, remote sensing) to improve hydrologic estimation and prediction, water resources management, and extreme event (e.g., droughts, floods, heatwaves) and cascading hazard mitigation. Across a variety of spatiotemporal scales, they address water resources challenges and aim to improve our understanding of the impacts of environmental change by linking the fields of hydrometeorology, hydroclimatology, remote sensing, and modeling together. The Huning Research Group seeks to tackle timely water and climate-related problems by analyzing current events, gaining insight from historical data, and understanding future projections and forecasts.

    Some of the topics that the group works on include:

      •  Terrestrial Hydrology

      •  Hydrometeorology

      •  Hydroclimatology, Climate Variability, and Change

      •  Snow Processes

      •  Climatic Extreme Events

      •  Hydrologic Monitoring Systems and Impacts
