Jim is a hydrologist and registered civil engineer with a research focus on hydrologic extremes and water resources management to decrease drought vulnerability. He is most interested in modeling drought risk across long time scales by generating long synthetic time series or by linking centuries of pre-Industrial reconstructions with modern observations and climate change projections.
Jim loves traveling and hiking with his wife and two dogs. 48 states and 36 U.S. national parks and counting.
Kyungmin is a hydrologist focusing on large data analysis and modeling to understand the large-scale hydrological system. She has been interested in studying impacts of human activities on the hydrological system. At OSU, she plans to pursue her study in analyzing extreme drought events in spatial and temporal scale, associated with human intervention.
She enjoys dancing, working out and spending time in nature.

Irenee is a hydrologic modeler interested in uncovering the impacts of land use and land cover change from that of other potential forcings. His work aims to analyze land cover trends and attribute their respective impacts at the watershed scale. He is also interested in the long-term impacts of climate extremes on water resources in both historical and future periods.
Also, Irenee enjoys listening to classic music. He is learning to play tennis and aspires to playing guitar.

Connor is a hydrologist and engineer-in-training with a research focus on hydrometeorological processes and flood risk analysis. He is specifically interested in quantifying trends in streamflow behavior to see if they are consistent with climate change. At OSU, he hopes to continue his education in climate extremes and its impacts on human and environmental health.
Connor enjoys reading, hiking, and exploring new places.

We have space for interested undergraduate students. Our work predominantly involves hydrologic modeling and statistics/coding. While experience in these areas is always great, it is definitely not expected. Come learn with us.
Potential topics include:
CEGE students may receive technical elective credit. Students from other departments are welcome, but should contact for details.
Interested students should email Dr. Stagge at: stagge.11@osu.edu.
