RESEARCH CONTINUITY

Cross-cutting scientific questions

Hydrological variability

How changing precipitation patterns, urbanization, and vegetation influence runoff and groundwater recharge.

Nutrient transport

How land management and extreme events reshape nutrient budgets and catchment–coast coupling.

Observation & modeling

How process-based models, remote sensing, and field measurements complement one another.
