Research Interests
Woonsup Choi's research is centered around the intersection of climate change, hydrology, and urban growth. Since the early days of his career, he has been interested in climate change and urban growth impacts on hydrology and water quality at basin scales, evaluating hydroclimatic data sets for hydrological analysis and modeling. More recently, he has studied the trends and propagation of drought and how people learn environmental science informally via artistic activities.
