Expertise

Research Interests

  • Terrestrial hydrology, lake-river systems, limnology, water resources, climate change, remote sensing and GIS, big spatial data.

I am also engaged in multiple projects that aim at improving the representation of human water managements in terrestrial hydrology, the attribution of lake storage dynamics, the monitoring of lake water quality, and the understanding of lake-river-wetland hydrodynamics.

He studies how these water stores function as sentinels, regulators, and integrators of climate change, and how lakes of different types interact with the cryosphere, the river systems, the carbon cycle, and human water managements. He conducts such studies through applications and innovations of integrated methods, which combine multi-sensor satellite remote sensing, in situ measurements, and hydrological modeling.
