Project Description

2018

2020

Projection of hydrological variability in arid region based on GCM statistical-dynamic downscaling

PI

Develop new techniques to downscale GCM with combined dynamic and statistical methods to generate future climate change scenarios. Then use the generated scenarios as inputs of hydrological models to project runoff and erosion changes.

2018

2020

Source identification and countermeasures of sediment in typical watersheds of China and South Africa

Co-PI

Identify the sediment sources and quantify the impacts of land use and climate change, and further discuss the countermeasures in China and South Africa

2018

2020

Groundwater recharge estimation in the loess tableland based on tritium mass balance methods

PI

Estimate groundwater recharge using tritium as tracer, and quantity the impacts of land use change.

2018

2020

Impact and countermeasures of climate change on agricultural soil and water resources in the middle reaches of China’s Yellow River and Serbian Sava watershed

Co-PI

Based on modeling technique, quantify the impacts of climate change on runoff and soil erosion in the Yellow River and Sava watershed, and further discuss the countermeasures
