Hydrologic models that simulate and predict water flow are used to estimate how natural systems respond to different scenarios such as changes in climate, land use, and soil management. The output ...

Hydrological modelling entails constructing mathematical representations of the water cycle within a defined catchment area, linking precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, storage and runoff ...

As climate change increases the risk of flooding worldwide, understanding how floods form has never been more important.

Snow hydrology examines the accumulation, metamorphism and melt of snowpacks and the consequent partitioning of water and energy within cold‐region environments. Central to this field is the ...

Recently, the Mountain Hydrology Group released its fifth near-real-time report on snow-water equivalent (SWE) in the Western US in 2025, and was covered in an INSTAAR press release. In essence, the ...

A Penn State-led team will develop an improved computer model of the Amazon that could ultimately help scientists better understand climate, thanks to a new grant from the Department of Energy. The ...

The climate system has undergone rapid transformation since the Industrial Revolution, with rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and ...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – (Oct. 3, 2022) Flooding is a universal challenge, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is sharing their tools and methodologies in the fight against floods with international ...

Importance of snow water storage in mountains is widely recognized for summer-time irrigation and food production in the downstream states. The process-based modeling of hydrologic systems including ...

Over a billion people globally depend on snowmelt runoff to meet water demands, predominantly from snow that accumulates annually in mid-latitude mountains. Decades of observations show that this ...

Model natural and engineered hydraulic and hydrologic systems. Manage large datasets and develop models for hydrodynamics. Gain in-depth modeling experience using real-world case studies in a ...

Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise. The team modeled Antarctica's ...
