Water Resources Sustainability Lab

The Water Resources Sustainability Lab is based in the School for the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Boston. We combine monitoring and hydrological modeling to understand natural and urban water systems. Drawing on information theory, we explore how to learn from observations and better represent these systems in models. We use this understanding to design solutions that advance water resources sustainability.
