Integrated WAter & climaTE Research group​(InWATER)

This research group seeks scientific answers to emerging water, climate, and environmental issues. Currently, we focus on 
(a) remote sensing of hydroclimatic and environmental hazards. 
(b) advanced modelling of extreme weather events under changing climate, and 
(c) water quality assessment and modelling.

Interested to learn and work with us? (PhD, MS and Post-Doc’s are always welcome)
