Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding how environmental changes impact the availability of water resources. I use long-term observations, sensors, remote sensing, and modeling techniques to study these effects.
Research Opportunities
I offer opportunities for students to work with me either as hourly employees or for research credit. Students typically undertake tasks such as setting up and managing field sites, collecting and analyzing samples in the lab or using computer programs, working with remote sensing imagery and geographic information systems (GIS), and developing online tools and websites.
