My research explores hydrological and ecological processes that affect water quality (e.g., nutrients, major & trace elements, and sediments) and water quantity (e.g., streamflow and water yield) issuing from watersheds. I am particularly interested in how human activities and environmental variability influence conditions and trends in streams, rivers, and estuaries. Students & staff in my Lab typically conduct projects that involve field sampling, laboratory analyses, or modeling to identify the important processes operating in watersheds. Our work aims to provide a scientific basis for design and implementation of land management programs and policies to mitigate the effects of pollution, and to protect, conserve, and restore surface waters.
