I am a hydrologist interested in improving our understanding and predictive capabilities of flux and storage of water, solute, and sediment in watersheds. My research group investigates relationships between hydrological, geomorphological and ecological processes using integrated observation and simulation approaches primarily in long-term experimental watersheds throughout the world, with particular interests in snow-dominated landscapes.
