Hydrology and Environmental analysis

Description

In hydrology, we research water and its movement in nature. This means we study rivers, lakes, groundwater and rainfall, and how water affects and is affected by the environment around us. For example, we investigate how much water there is, how it moves through the soil, and how it affects ecosystems and human life. By understanding hydrology, we can better manage water resources, plan for floods and droughts, and protect water quality for animals and humans. In environmental analysis, we study how pollution, climate and land use affect the aquatic environment. Through an interdisciplinary understanding of hydrology and biogeochemistry, we build a scientific basis for water management that allows us to distinguish human impacts from nature's own variability.

In environmental analysis, we study how pollution, climate and land use affect the aquatic environment. Through an interdisciplinary understanding of hydrology and biogeochemistry, we are building a scientific basis for water management that allows us to distinguish human impact from 'natural' variability.
