Dr. Darren Ficklin
Dr. Darren Ficklin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Indiana University. Darren’s research focuses on the impact of climate change and variability on the hydrologic cycle in agricultural and mountainous regions throughout the world. His current research topics include: assessing the impacts of climate change on snowmelt and streamflow in watersheds around the world, determining the spatial and temporal trends of drought throughout the United States, and assessing how aquatic species habitats may change with impending climate changes through the use of stream temperature modeling. 

Dr. Yog Aryal
Dr. Yog Aryal is a Future of Aquatic Flows (FoAF), Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University, where he focuses on how climate change affects watershed hydrology and droughts. He earned his PhD from the University of Wyoming. Yog has worked as a researcher in both the United States and Nepal. His current project explores the changes in snow processes, their drivers, and how they impact hydrology and ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin. He is also working with collaborators from other CASC centers as a co-author on a national synthesis report on the future of aquatic flow, aiming to shape understanding and policies on water management in the face of climate change. As an integral member of the academic community, Yog actively engages in the scientific discourse on climate adaptation, guiding future scientists through mentorship, leading conference sessions, and editorial contributions.
