The mission of DHS is to contribute to society’s fundamental knowledge and understanding of hydrologic systems and to serve as a leader in the long-term sustainability of water resources. In addition to serving as experts in water resources, DHS faculty are renowned for their ability to contribute and deliver cutting-edge solutions in fields associated with earth sciences.

We achieve our mission through an integrated team of multidisciplinary research faculty along with an outstanding team of administrative support staff, graduate research assistants, technicians, and computer and information processing specialists who assist the researchers with their projects. The division has approximately 100 ongoing research projects with an annual budget of $13 million derived from research sponsors.
