About

Flooding is one of the leading natural disasters in terms of human fatalities and economic loss globally. The rising trends in global and regional economic losses due to floods have raised concerns about floods becoming more severe in a warming climate. However, there is still limited evidence of changes in floods across space and time, arguably due to fragmented (and even conflicting) scientific findings of local-scale studies, limited spatiotemporal coverage of streamflow observations, and the complexity of flood generating processes.

Hong's research program explores how floods have changed and what are the driving factors of these changes across scales from the regional (e.g. the Great Lakes) to the global, using a combination of streamflow observations and hydrological models. Hong's research focuses on three main themes: (i) Improving the accessibility of streamflow observations for hydrological research, (ii) Evaluating hydrological models performance using large-sample of streamflow observations and (iii) Improving the understanding of changes in flood hazards and the underlying mechanism.
