معرفی
Dr. Guo Yu is an Assistant Research Professor at the Desert Research Institute (DRI) in the Hydrologic Sciences Division, with a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a licensed Professional Engineer in Nevada, his work bridges academic research and industrial application in hydrology, hydrometeorology, and climate change impact studies.
- Education: PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dr. Yu’s research focuses on hydroclimate extremes, process-based hydrologic modeling, and rainfall/flood frequency analyses. His work investigates how climate change, wildfire, and urbanization alter flood dynamics, particularly in arid and mountainous regions. He integrates citizen science for precipitation phase monitoring and applies machine learning to enhance process understanding in geosciences.
Recent publications highlight his expertise in nonstationary flood modeling and climate change impacts. Key topics include wildfire-induced flood alterations, crowdsourced data applications, and compounding flood drivers. His studies often inform flood risk management frameworks and dam safety analyses.
- Highlights: Cited in Federal Flood Risk Management Standard and Fifth National Climate Assessment.
Dr. Yu collaborates with institutions like the American Geophysical Union and participates in technical workshops for flood quantification and precipitation phase estimation. His contributions span journal articles, conference proceedings, and reports for policy and engineering applications.
- Labs/Teams: Affiliated with DRI’s Hydrologic Sciences Division; works with interdisciplinary teams on wildfire and climate change projects.
