The Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics has been established in summer 2020. Our research is dedicated to tackling global challenges concerning water, soil, and the environment. We are passionate about creating new knowledge through research and innovation, especially in the development of innovative measurement tools and predictive capabilities that harness the strengths of sensing technologies and big data analytics. We aim to provide accurate and quantitative insights into multiscale and multiphase ecohydrological processes occurring near the Earth’s surface. We integrate theoretical frameworks with state-of-the-art modeling and experimental techniques, leveraging cutting-edge tools such as artificial intelligence, computational fluid dynamics, environmental sensing technologies, thermal imaging, satellite remote sensing, big data, analytics and informatics to offer new insights and perspectives on the complex interactions between soil, water, and the atmosphere.

Our current research projects includes:

1. Evaporation from agricultural water reservoirs in a warming climate: A global perspective
2. Groundwater-climate interactions and feedback loops
3. Prediction of extreme land surface temperatures
4. AI-driven modeling of soil degradation in the face of climate and anthropogenic pressures
5. Anthropogenic and climate impacts on endorheic lake storage changes
6. Saltwater intrusion: A growing threat to soil health
7. Soil salinization on a global scale
8. Soil water evaporation dynamics
9. Solute transport in porous media.
