My overall research motivation is to contribute to sustainable water resources management, by assessing environmental accounts in the Earth’s water cycle, ecosystem, and carbon cycle. This motivation has led to integrated assessment of climate variability and human impact on water resources, and the use of advanced land surface monitoring strategies for efficient observation-model synthesis. My research employs hydrologic and land surface models, along with field and remotely sensed (e.g. satellite) observations to better understand and model water and carbon cycles and ecosystem functioning. I believe the future of water resources research lie in the development of improved hydrologic and land surface narrative, through advanced monitoring strategies, and the development of state-of-the-art procedures to better predict terrestrial ecosystem processes under changing climatic and human impacts. This requires extensive research in the evolution of landscapes, climates, and coupled human-water systems, to deliver water resource solutions in an adaptive manner for societal benefits. Additional interests span Geospatial Information Science and Technology, transport and mobility research, health geography, transport relations with health and the environment, and urban dynamics .
