Research Objectives

The objective of this research is to develop, and illustrate the application of, a novel geostatistical framework for stochastic modeling of climate variables at regional scales. The developed approach allows for assessing explicitly the uncertainty in hydrological and environmental model predictions due to uncertain climate forcing, with wide applications to risk analysis in related impact assessment studies.
