Turning hydroclimate information into decisions that hold up.

We forecast hydroclimatic extremes — streamflow, drought, crop shortfall — and study what those forecasts are worth once someone has to act on them. The work runs from water system operations in Canada to crop statistics across Africa.

01

Hydroclimatic prediction & water systems

Season-ahead forecasting of streamflow and hydroclimatic extremes, satellite observation of surface water, and what that information is worth once a water system has to act on it.

02

Agricultural monitoring & food security

HarvestStat — harmonized subnational crop statistics — and Earth-observation prediction of crop yields and food security.

03

Climate risk & vulnerability

Who is exposed, who can adapt, and who gets displaced — linking physical hazard to social and health vulnerability, and to the adaptation policy that follows.

We're looking for curious people.

If you like large environmental datasets, forecasting problems, and questions where the answer changes what someone does — get in touch. Prior climate background is welcome but not required.
