| 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 techniques to uncover new
knowledge about how natural systems function. |
