Water Resources Research Center is proud to showcase our faculty for their innovative and groundbreaking research that will benefit the Pacific Islands and the world. The WRRC faculty continues to collaborate with other institutes and government agencies, and is committed to providing opportunities and knowledge to the next generation of scientists.
I would like to conduct extensive research on crucial issues that will benefit Hawaii, such as forecasting floods, wildfires, and landslides.
Appropriate assessment and management of coastal resources are of primary importance for preserving biodiversity and achieving coastal sustainability.
I view social and environmental challenges and solutions as intricately inter-connected.
I study what I call the “ecohydrology of change,” hydrologic and ecologic processes shaped by plant-water interactions in shifting landscapes, waterscapes, and climates.
Municipal wastewater treatment and nutrient management is a grand engineering challenge complicated by climate change, water scarcity, and public health considerations.
One can benefit from applied mathematics statistics, and computer programming to understand underlying natural phenomena and perform relevant projects successfully.
My research goal is to integrate better engineering of water structures with improved understanding of (Hawaii’s) natural water resources…
