Erkan Istanbulluoglu joined the CEE as an Assistant Professor in September, 2009. Before joining the University of Washington, he worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2002-2005), and held Assistant Professor positions in the department of Geosciences, School of Natural Resources, and Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2005-2009).
His research is highly interdisciplinary and aims to understand the role of climate on ecohydrological and geomorphological response of landscapes, sediment transport, and water balance of large basins. He uses empirical field observations, satellite-derived data, and numerical models to study the landscape system and its response to natural drivers and anthropogenic impacts.
