Our main fields of research are

• Impact of regional climate change on terrestrial hydrology
• Dynamical and statistical downscaling of meteorological fields
• Fully coupled and compartment crossing regional atmospheric and hydrological modeling
• Modeling and observation of joint water- and energy fluxes
• Use of commercial microwave links (CMLs) for precipitation quantification
• Geostatistical merging of hydrometeorological variables
