Research Group Foci: We
study processes by which hydrology, hydraulics,
and solute transport and fate influence
watersheds, streams, and ecosystems. We
conduct research related to stream-groundwater
interactions, hyporheic exchange, stream and
hyporheic restoration, and climate change in polar
and temperate regions. Our research group
focuses on both field experiments/monitoring and
numerical modeling to uncover new knowledge about
how natural systems function, and how they respond
to change.
