Water Resources & Remote Sensing Projects

 

WRRS research  focuses primarily on complex and interrelated geologic and environmental problems using field-based data, satellite remote sensing techniques, and numerical models.  The research weaves four interconnected threads related to water resources: 

(1) addressing issues pertaining to the sources, distribution, sinks, fluxes, and mechanisms of groundwater recharge on local and regional scales; 

(2) development and assessment of hydrologic models using both field-based data and cost-effective technologies to quantify, forecast, and better understand water resources;

(3) advancing the science of satellite applications in hydrology and geology;

(4) evaluating groundwater potentialities using near-surface geophysics, isotope geochemistry, and remote sensing.  

WRRS research is primarily focused on arid to semi-arid environments or within data-sparse environments (e.g., Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia).
