We are a research group at Imperial College London, focusing on sustainable water resources management. We work across the entire knowledge production workflow from data collection and process understanding to simulation, prediction, and decision-support. Our research addresses critical challenges including climate change impacts, land-use changes, ecosystem services, and uncertainty analysis.

Schmidt Sciences project kickoff
Last week, we held the kickoff meeting for the Schmidt Sciences project (Unlocking Local Knowledge Production for Global Water Reanalysis) at Imperial College London. Our international team of researchers gathered to connect across disciplines and begin shaping the work ahead. Over the course of the meetings, we explored how local knowledge and hydrological modelling can be brought together to better understand water systems. Excited for the research collaboration that lies ahead!
