My research interests primarily lie in the area of environmental management and modeling, with a particular emphasis on water resources engineering and the ecosystem services of urban trees. My water resources engineering research focuses on developing and testing approaches to improve water management and utilization, and how best to predict and forecast hydrologic statisics given limited amounts of streamflow data (ungauged and partially gauged sites, and the use of spot measurements). This research encompasses the areas of stochastic and deterministic hydrology, system engineering, probability and statistics, and computer science. My research on the ecosystem services of urban trees examines ways to improve the our understand of the benefits and costs of urban trees and vegetation, and methods to develop improved urban tree management and plantings to improve the ecosystem benefits.
