Water Intelligence Lab · University of Delaware

We build tools and cyber-infrastructure to understand water systems.

Research

What we work on

Interconnected themes across how we model, understand, compute on, and govern water systems.

Diagnosing and forecasting compound coastal flooding from surge, tide, rainfall, and runoff

Physically-based and data-driven models of coupled human–water systems

From individual behavior to emergent, large-scale water dynamics

Cloud-scale computing for coupled water and agent-based models

Coupled models that inform decisions on water security
