Welcome to the RHyCAM Lab
We are looking for passionate new PhD students, Master students, and undergraduate students to join the team (more info).
We are the Regional HydroClimate Analysis and Modeling (RHyCAM) Lab, a dynamic research group at the University of Oklahoma, jointly affiliated with the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science and the School of Meteorology. Our mission is to explore and understand our changing environment and to help build resilient infrastructure for the future.
As scientists, we develop innovative analysis frameworks and advanced modeling tools to study the water cycle and climate extremes—uncovering their historical patterns and projecting their future behavior. As engineers, we collaborate with local, state, and national stakeholders, policymakers, and engineering communities to translate our scientific insights into actionable solutions. Through this dual approach, we bridge the gap between research and real-world applications, ensuring our work contributes to a more sustainable and prepared society.
