Zhiying Li (she/her) is a hydroclimatologist, assistant professor in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington, and PI of the IU Hydroclimatology Group. She works to understand the variability, drivers, and impacts of hydroclimatic extremes, such as drought and flooding, and water availability in a warming climate, using a wide range of approaches, including fully coupled Earth System Models, process-based hydrologic models, hydrologic theory, statistical analysis, and GIS. Her current research topics include: drought monitoring in a nonstationary climate, historical and future trends in extreme precipitation, relationship between extreme events and water availability, impacts of compound extreme events on water quality, etc. 

She is from southern China, did her postdoctoral training at the Dartmouth Climate Modeling & Impacts Group, and holds degrees from Northwest A&F University, China (Bachelors in Agriculture), University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China (M.S.), and The Ohio State University (Ph.D.).
