Expertise

I am a physical hydrologist and environmental scientist whose research draws from the disciplines of hydrology, hydrogeology and soil physics to investigate how heat, water and solutes move through the environment. I am particularly interested how these processes respond to both climate change, as well as changes to the physical landscape, such as those caused by thawing permafrost, rising sea levels, or environmental hazards, such as fires, floods, or landslides. My research ultimately seeks to improve our ability to measure, model—and therefore predict—how hydrological processes are likely to evolve on a changing planet, in order to better inform sustainable water management strategies.
