CURRENTLY ON SABBATICAL LEAVE
Professor of Hydrology & Biogeosciences
Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences  

Our Foci:  Linking watershed form to hydrological, ecological, and biogeochemical function.  We study watershed hydrology (streamwater sources, flowpaths, and age), land-atmosphere CO2, H2O, and energy fluxes, watershed biogeochemistry, and hydrological / biogeochemical / ecological implications of landscape change.  We employ methods that include source water tracing, physical hydrology, eddy-covariance, and landscape analysis techniques. Our field-based research is focused on the spatial and temporal scaling of hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological processes across natural and disturbed watersheds and stream networks.
