Ensuring water security and resilience
Our faculty work collaboratively to ensure sustainable and robust water systems by applying concepts and techniques from hydrology and water resources engineering, including observations, numerical models and data science methods.
Our faculty emphasize the urban water cycle and its interactions with climate and policy dimensions using the Phoenix metropolitan area and the State of Arizona as outdoor laboratories for field experiments, modeling and remote sensing applications.
Our faculty are recognized experts in their respective fields which span from water policy to hydrologic data sciences and include atmospheric, surface water and groundwater components. They work closely with stakeholders from water and environmental agencies, non-profit organizations and the private sector to advance hydrologic science and water resources engineering. Their research efforts are coordinated within the Center for Hydrologic Innovations at Arizona State University.
Our undergraduate and graduate students go on to careers in the fields of water resources engineering, hydraulics, groundwater hydrology, surface water hydrology, environmental fluid hydraulics, climate science, environmental remediation, water resources planning and various others in the private, public and non-profit sectors.
