The Terrestrial Water Cycle and Water Hazards Research Group at Nanjing University is supported by the School of Geography and Ocean Science and the Frontiers Science Center for Critical Earth Material Cycling. The group is dedicated to frontier research in terrestrial hydrology and focuses on "Water cycle response and disaster-causing mechanism under changing environment" this core scientific question. We aim to reveal the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of basin and urban flood hazards, decode the hydrometeorological and climatic drivers behind extreme hydrological events, and provide scientific paradigms and systematic solutions for future flood-risk adaptation.
The group has strong academic foundations and an active domestic and international collaboration network. We welcome outstanding young scholars with multidisciplinary backgrounds in hydrology, geography, atmospheric science, remote sensing, and related fields, from undergraduate students to postdoctoral researchers.
