Using engineering tools and policy analysis to create a more sustainable and just world
We work to advance water resources management to promote resilient and equitable responses to an uncertain future. We develop computational modeling approaches that bridge the natural and social environments. Our approach improves understanding of the water and climate risks that threaten people and the environment, while developing systems-based engineering and policy solutions.
Our science
We use computational systems models to design and evaluate strategies for water resources planning under uncertainty. We develop solutions that enable resilience by adapting to change.
