Hydrology & Fluid Dynamics
Duke environmental engineering faculty in the Hydrology and Fluid Dynamics research group pursue some of the most pressing open problems in environmental fluid dynamics, hydrology and water resources. We take a multidisciplinary and multifaceted approach to these complex problems, ranging from advanced theoretical computational analyses to unique laboratory and local and global field experiments.
Research Areas
- Hydrometeorology: Rainfall dynamics, land-atmosphere interaction, remote sensing
- Eco-hydrology: Impact of hydroclimatic variability on ecosystems and feedbacks on the hydrologic cycle and local climate
- Contaminant transport hydrology: Surface-subsurface interactions
- Water cycle dynamics and human health, and stochastic hydrology
