I am a vadose zone hydrologist specializing in water and solute transport. My research has sought to understand how a spectrum of flow heterogeneity affects contaminant mobility in soils and gives rise to (eco)hydrological separation between fast flowing drainage recharging streams versus less mobile water that supplies transpiration. My work addresses water research topics ranging from hydrological mixing controls in soils to quantifying the impact of various climate change trajectories on the storage and movement of water through ecosystems. This involves the use of field and laboratory experimentation, as well as tracer and modeling techniques.
My post-PhD work includes: 1. University of Innsbruck in Austria where I coordinated experimentation for an international climate manipulation and global change project (ClimGrass and/or ClimGrassHydro), and 2. the University of Maryland where I am working to refine hydrological controls on phosphorus transport from agricultural soils.
