Purdue Hydrologic Impacts Group (PHIG)

Quantifying environmental change impacts to water resources using data analysis, sensors, remote sensing, statistics, modeling, and machine learning.

About PHIG

Our research group consists of two faculty members and their graduate and undergraduate research assistants, post-doctoral researchers, and staff focusing primarily on the hydrologic impacts of environmental change at a range of scales, through the use of in-situ data collection, remote sensing and hydrologic models.

PHIG Team is headed to Washington DC over the week of December 9th to attend and present at the Fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union.  Poster presentations Monday and Friday, so stop by if you are around.

Second year of sampling water quality in Indiana's inland water bodies has wrapped up for the season.  We are nearly done with lab analysis and the focus is now on developing remote sensing based predictive models.

First year of operations using our subsurface drip irrigation system at the Agronomy Center for Research and Education (ACRE) has wrapped up .  Made it through the entire season on wetland water, except when using groundwater to check the system for leaks. 

Congratulations to Dr. Bowling who was named as the new Head of the Department of Agronomy.

Congratulations to Dr. Cherkauer who was named as the Interim Director of the NRES undergraduate program.
