Environmental Modeling Lab:
- Functions: The Environmental Modeling Lab uses modeling approaches to address issues surrounding freshwater resources. The lab integrates field observation data and stream biotic characteristics, such as fish and macroinvertebrates, to develop watershed models capable of accurately evaluating the overall quality and integrity of freshwater resources. The lab also evaluates various pollution prevention and control options, such as conservation practices, best management practices (BMP) and wetland restoration scenarios to identify the optimum solution to curb the growing environmental problems. In addition to current conditions, the lab also evaluates future scenarios to identify the best set of options in order to maintain the environmental integrity under climate change.

Decision Support and Informatics Lab:
-
Functions: The Decision Support and Informatics (DSI) Lab aims to transform the vast quantity of global data into knowledge through research, analysis, and visualization. The expert group in the DSI lab has devised a data architecture, delivery systems and geospatial analysis platform that supports the academics, researchers and development workers worldwide. Based on publicly available data, the DSI lab aims to develop multiple online platforms that allow users to map and compare social/environmental indicators, verify hypothesis and reveal spatial patterns, predict future trends, and ultimately analyze the global risk for vulnerability detection.
