Associate Professor Huade Guan
Associate Professor
College of Science and Engineering
Associate Professor Huade Guan joined Flinders University in 2006. His research interests are mostly focused on water resource and environmental issues from the interface of land surface and atmosphere, through soil and vegetation, to groundwater table. He leads ecohydrology and hydrometeorology research group (EcoH2OMe) and manages the Ecohydrology Research Laboratory at Flinders.
Associate Professor Guan is a Chief Investigator of the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training since 2009. His research in NCGRT started from field-based investigation of vegetation water use under various climate conditions, using hydraulic, micrometeorological, physiological and isotopic methods, developed to numerical modelling of plant transpiration and drought responses, and to remote sensing analysis of large-scale interactions of climate and vegetation.
Associate Professor Guan has lead several government-funded urban microclimate and ecohydrology projects, aiming for improving resilience to changing climate in urban environment. Subjects of these projects include urban heat island, sea breeze cooling, climate-dependent energy consumption, and integrated urban water and greenery management.
Associate Professor Guan’s research also includes subjects of climate teleconnections, hydrological processes in mountains, agricultural hydrology, carbon sequestration, and contaminated water and soil remediation.
