Welcome to Dr. Guiling Wang's Hydroclimatology and Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions
Group at UConn . The mission of our group is to understand and quantify the terrestrial
hydrological cycle, its variability, and changes. We take an earth system approach,
viewing the Earth’s biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere as dynamically coupled
components linked through water, energy, and CO2 exchanges. We are particularly interested
in the interactions between terrestrial biosphere (mainly vegetation and human) and the rest
of the climate system. Our research relies on models of various nature and complexity as
well as satellite and ground observational data. Recent research topics include vegetation-
precipitation interactions at seasonal, inter-annual, and decadal-centennial time scales,
parameterization of sub-grid heterogeneity in land surface and climate models, impact of
dynamic root water uptake on surface hydrological processes, impact of large-scale climate
variability (i.e., El Nino-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation) on regional hydrological
and biological processes.
