I am interested in using multiple satellite datasets, in-situ observation datasets, and reanalysis products to investigate how climate variability and human activities affect water resources. My approach integrates physics-based hydrological models with deep learning techniques, ensuring that model predictions remain both accurate and physically interpretable. In parallel, I develop BERT/GPT-based foundation models that can be fine-tuned for tasks such as streamflow forecasting, soil moisture prediction, and water quality assessment. Ultimately, I aim to deliver robust, scalable, and transparent modeling frameworks that guide decision-making from local watersheds to global scales, helping mitigate risks such as droughts, floods, and landslides in a changing climate.

Building LSTM and Transformer Models for Hydrologic Prediction

This tutorial provides a hands-on introduction to applying deep learning models—LSTM and Transformer—to hydrologic prediction using the CAMELS dataset. Participants will learn how to preprocess data, construct and train models, and evaluate their performance on rainfall–runoff tasks. No prior hydrology experience is required—just curiosity about deep learning for Earth science.
