“At the Climate Extremes and Water Security (CEWS) Lab, our primary objective is to deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships among climate, human activities, and water systems. To achieve this, we employ a blend of statistical analysis, complex network theory, deep learning techniques, and process-based models. These methodologies allow us to explore novel insights and validate hypotheses regarding the spatio-temporal evolution, cascade behavior, and propagation of both individual and compound extreme events. Our overarching mission is to enhance water and food security, environmental sustainability, and manage civil infrastructure systems in response to a variety of extreme climate events”
