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.

Recent Updates

This summer's drainage water recycling work is wrapping up for the year. Thanks to DK Yang and our undergrads for getting the drip line out of the fields. Crops have been harvested, and preparations are underway for installation of subsurface drip lines this fall.

Welcome to Takhellambam Bijoychandra who has joined PHIG as a postdoctoral research assistant who will be working with the NRES program as well as on PHIG research projects.

Our new UAS mounted Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been out doing test flights at ACRE all week. It will continue to collect data through the end of this growing season. Hopefully over the winter we will start to get data processed to show soil moisture and biomass.
