Welcome!
My
research program is focused on the evaluation of groundwater hydrologic
interfaces. The implementation of this research agenda has involved
the evaluation of highly localized systems and more broad scale watershed
processes. This research direction has allowed me to participate with and
develop strong multi-disciplinary teams. Please feel free to contact me
with questions about my research program and the multi-disciplinary teams with
which I participate.
