The Hydroclimate Research Group at Auburn University, led by Di Tian, studies terrestrial hydroclimate dynamics, extremes, and impacts. Our research focuses on observing, understanding, and predicting the interactions among precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and streamflow; the development of hydroclimate extremes, including droughts, extreme rainfall, floods, and heatwaves; and their impacts on water resources, ecosystems, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Our research integrates hydrology, climatology, Earth observation, physics-based modeling, data science, and AI to advance the observation, understanding, and prediction of terrestrial hydroclimate processes across spatial and temporal scales.
