Lu Li

I am a senior hydrologist at NORCE Climate & Environment and a member of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. My work focuses on advancing our understanding of the hydrological cycle—past, present, and future—from local to regional scales. I am particularly interested in hydrological variability, change, and extremes, with an emphasis on uncovering the physical mechanisms that drive hydrological responses. To achieve this, I employ both lumped and distributed hydrological models, the coupled hydrometeorological WRF-Hydro modelling system, advanced statistical methods (e.g., Bayesian approaches for uncertainty estimation), and observation-based analysis. I also work at the interface between regional climate and hydrological models to enhance our understanding of future water-related risks.

Research Interests:

• Glacier and snow hydrology
• Hydrological forecasting and future projections under climate change
• Extreme hydrological events and hazards (e.g., floods)
• Advancing hydrological modeling and prediction frameworks

Projects:
NORIDIA, WaCyEx, EvoGlac, C-ICE, Hordaflom, CHEX, the EU project of CONFER, the EU project of Impetus4Change, and the FME of RenewHydro.
