Dr. Evren Soylu is a Research Engineer II at Georgia Tech working with Bras Hydrology Group. He studies surface and subsurface hydrological processes and their coupled interactions with vegetation dynamics under changing climate, land cover, and human impact. To understand these processes, my research includes designing/using numerical models and field observations. I use field observations to improve understanding of processes, conceptualize models, and corroborate numerical model results. My work focuses on both theoretical and applied aspects of environmental research, with a strong focus on groundwater – land surface processes interactions in the Earth’s critical zone.
