Hydroclimate & Infrastructure Research Lab

The Hydroclimate & Infrastructure Research Lab investigates a range of topics in hydrology, climate, and atmospheric sciences that are useful to support the design of sustainable infrastructure and engineering applications. We do so by synergistically combining advanced statistical techniques and numerical models of the Earth’s climate and hydrologic cycle.

We are part of the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and work within several research centers at ASU:

Center for Hydrologic Innovations

Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering

Urban Climate Research Center

Global Security Initiative

Our students are part of the graduate program in Hydrosystems Engineering housed in the Walton Center for Planetary Health.
