Brief Introduction
School of Hydrology and Water Resources(formerly College of Hydrometeorology) was established in June 2011, and renamed in October 2017. The school is dedicated to research, education, and academic cooperation in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and water resources. The prior goal of the school is totackle grand scientific challenges with emphasis on extreme hydrometeorological disaster-related issuesranging fromtheirmechanism and predictability to early warning and adaptation in a changing environment. As an education unit,our mission is to cultivate a number of interdisciplinary research talents in hydrometeorology and water resources. The school also aims to set up world class research programs and to promote international science and technology exchanges in the related areas.

Research
Hydrometeorological disaster preparedness and management research group
Leader: Prof. Xieyao Ma
Tel: +86-25-58695734;Email: xyma@nuist.edu.cn
The group was established to coordinate interdisciplinary research on: hydrometeorological hazards, urban flooding risk, flash flood and debris flow in mountainous region, drought risk, and basin-scale water resources management.
Research efforts are focused on: (1) frequency analysis of extreme rainfall and flood events;(2) urban flood warning and sponge city construction; (3) hydro-mechanical modeling of landslides; and (4) hydrological modeling and water resource management under the impact of climate change. Through the integrated study of hydrology and meteorology, we focus on knowledge transfer in university–industry research partnerships to solving critical problems related to hydrometeorological disasters in China and the world.
Group members:
Prof. Xieyao Ma: Regional climate change, hydrology and water resources
Prof. Dehua Zhu: Rainfall nowcasting
Dr. Yixing Yin: Frequency analysis of extreme rainfall and flood events
Dr. Jun Zhao: statistical downscaling
Dr. Wei Shao: Soil hydrology, landslide warning
Dr. Jie Wang: Flash flood and debris flow, urban hydrology
Dr. Yanzhong Li: Land surface modeling, land-atmosphere interactions
Dr. Lingna Wei: hydrology and water resources
Ecohydrology Group
Leader: Prof. Zhiguo Yu
Tel: +86-25-58695608; Email: yuzhiguoiae@gmail.com
Our group’s research interestsare primarily in the field of ecohydrology,including 1) interactions between hydrological processes and Carbon, Sulfur, iron and trace metal cycling and transformations in wetlands and lake.To this end we quantify elemental fluxes and identify and characterize biogeochemical and geochemical processes with chemical-analytical techniques. 2)Mathematical Simulation models and statistical tools are applied in a supportive way to characterize system dynamics and to analyze the interaction of physical, chemical and biological processes. The derived knowledge is used to elucidate the effect of environmental change on freshwater ecosystems on different spatial and temporal scales.
Group members:
Prof. Zhiguo Yu: Ecohydrology,climate change
Dr. Na Yang: Reservoir operation and water resources assessment
Dr. Xiuqin Yang: ecohydrology and global change
Dr. Hui Ge: Sponge city,utilization of rainwater and flood resources
Dr. Jianjian Wang: Remediation of lake pollution,coupling mechanism between river-lake dynamic process and biogeochemical process, development of water environment model

Hydro Climatology Group
Leader: Prof. Xing Yuan
Tel: +86-25-58699958, Email: xyuan@nuist.edu.cn
Our group’s research interests are primarily in the field of hydroclimatology and global change, including 1) high resolution land surface modeling, with incorporation of human dimensions and biogeophysical-biogeochemical interactions, and integration of multisource earth observations; 2) climate change and water cycle, with focus on hydroclimate responses to global warming, mechanism of changes in multiscale hydrological extremes (e.g., flooding, flash drought, persistent drought); and 3) hydroclimatepredictability and early warning, especially for the adaption in a changing environment. Our target is to advance interdisciplinary research of hydrometeorology and hydroclimatology, and to tackle global and regional environmental change issues for a sustainable development.
