Currently I am working on my dissertation entitled “A Study on Variability of Hydrological Processes Attributed by Climate Change, Land Cover/Land Use Change and Groundwater Pumping in MAKAHA Watershed, Oahu ”. The study mostly focused on understanding the response of water budget components to the change in ecosystem by integrating in-situ field observations, historical climate data, and satellite data with hydrologic modeling. I have been analyzing the historical climate data specifically temperature and precipitation for possible trend. I am also trying to explore the response and interaction of streamflow with changing environment specifically climate forcing and land use pattern. The declined in streamflow will be investigated with the use of hydrologic modeling and statistical tools. The response of watershed water budget to future climate projection and land use will also be investigated. |
