The goal of our research is to understand and model human-hydrologic systems to improve societal responses to water resources challenges.    Human-hydrologic systems are particularly vulnerable to climate variability and climate change and climate risk assessment and management is a focus area.  The findings of this research will provide insight for planning and adapting the design and management of water resource systems for a sustainable future.
