Current Research Projects
My interests are summarized by two emergent themes from current and previous work: 1) Hydrologic connectivity - water mediated fluxes of mass and energy; and 2) Hydrologic coevolution - bi-directional interactions between landscape structure and function over short and long timescales. My Ph.D. research utilizes a combination of in-situ data collection networks, time-series analysis, and physically based deterministic modeling, to quantify the connectivity of surface waters and groundwaters across a variety of space/time scales. My postdoc research advances understanding of hydrologic coevolution by synthesizing hydrologic, geochemical, and meteorological data from across the Critical Zone Observatory network to extract quantitative signatures of Critical Zone structure and function. |
