- Covers the vertical and lateral fluxes and stores of water within the terrestrial hydrologic cycle such as precipitation (rain and snow); infiltration; runoff; snowmelt; evapotranspiration; streamflow; groundwater recharge/discharge; and surface (snowpack, lakes, rivers) and subsurface (soil moisture and groundwater) storages.
- Individual simulation models are developed to represent key processes within the hydrologic cycle.
- Process models are then integrated to approximate the hydrologic cycle of a watershed.
- Covers model parameterization, calibration, validation, and uncertainty (model parameters and forcings).
- Knowledge of geographic information systems and programming is recommended.
