Dr. Srinivasulu Ale
Associate Professor

Dr. Ale is a hydrologist with expertise in geospatial analysis of hydrologic processes and hydrologic/water quality modeling at various spatial scales. His Ph.D. Dissertation and Postdoctoral research at Purdue University focused on assessing the environmental and hydrologic impacts of subsurface (tile) drainage at field and watershed scales in Indiana. His current research focuses on hydrologic and water quality modeling, integrated water resources management, land use and climate change impacts on hydrology and environment, geospatial mapping of natural resources and cropping systems modeling.

Dr. Jungjin Kim
Postdoctoral Research Associate

My research interests include assimilation of massive volumes of data, hydrologic and numerical modeling, water resources management, assessment of land use and climate change impacts, and drought prediction or visualization. My PhD dissertation at the University of Idaho focused on integrating insights gained from the variations of water quality and quantity by the potential impacts of land use and climate change on water resources systems using a hydrologic model and an optimization tool in the Boise River Watershed. My current research focuses on evaluating the impacts of grazing management practices on hydrology, and soil and water quality.
