 Our research interests include:

• Multi-sensor multi-spectral remote sensing of precipitation

• High latitude/cold region/mountainous rain and snow retrievals and analysis

• Weather and climate extremes (extreme precipitation, drought, heatwaves) and societal impact

• Global water and energy budget analysis

• Hydrologic/watershed modeling and optimization

• Developing precipitation products for hydrological applications.

• Using advanced satellite and in-situ data to improve quantification of hydrologic variables

• Representation of precipitation in climate models

• Land-atmosphere interaction

• Using GRACE for hydrometeorology

• Ecohydrology and ecosystem response under water stress

• Precipitation and ground water recharge 

• Machine Learning

• Applied sciences
