Potential topics are 1) drought mechanisms, risk, and predictability, 2) large-scale land surface modeling focusing on the land cover and use change impact, 3) hydrodynamical modeling with unmanned boat-based river bathymetry surveys, and 4) socio-hydrology with a focus on the dynamics of social response (potential triggers and growth and decay patterns) during emerging water-related disasters.

Dr Kim's work on hyper-resolution streamflow reconstruction for Geum River is accepted in Scientific Data. This reconstructed data is at 90-meter resoltuion and its temporal coverage is from 1951 through 2020. This hyper-resolution streamflow data is generated by the dynmaical downscaling via the VIC-River Routing model.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
2024 is another productive year for our group. Five refereed articles are published in 2024. The list of the artilces are below (bold: student/postdoc first author). Two journals are published in top 3% journals in water resources research and three journals are published in top 10% journals in their field. I appreciate our group members' hard work. More publications are forthcoming in 2025! Wish the best to all my research group members and alumni.
