Xiaoyong Xu

Xiaoyong Xu’s research aims to advance the understanding, monitoring, and prediction of the physical processes that govern water movement in the Earth’s surface and subsurface regimes and their involvement in global changes. His current primary projects are funded by the Canadian Space Agency and NSERC and focus on integration of satellite remote sensing and computational modeling for quantifying the dynamics of surface–subsurface water interaction. Dr. Xu also has extensive collaborations with industry and government agencies. In the classroom, Dr. Xu teaches courses on environmental modeling, weather and climate, climate physics, and remote sensing.
