Earth systems, modeling, and sustainability

Modeling Environmental Systems Across Climate, Water, Land, and Cities

Research and applied work using geospatial analysis and system dynamics to understand interactions across climate, hydrology, land systems, and urban environments, with a focus on sustainability and policy relevant insights.

About this work

This website presents research and teaching at the intersection of earth systems science, climate change, and water resource sustainability. The work integrates geospatial analysis and system dynamics modeling to examine how environmental systems respond to climate variability and land use change, with a focus on informing resilient and adaptive policy decisions.

Research

Spatially explicit modeling of hydrology, climate impacts, land cover change, atmospheric water harvesting feasibility, and urban heat dynamics.
