Research Areas:
- Evaluate the role of land management (agricultural drainage, forest management, etc.) on water quality and quantity.
- Characterize the effects of landcover/land-use change (in particular urbanization) on the hydrology of extreme events.
- Predict the hydrologic response of cold regions to global climate change and identify climate feedback mechanisms.
