I am interested in the processes controlling hydrologic fluxes in mountainous and arctic regions and associated linkages with climate variability, ecological function, and biogeochemical cycles. Improved understanding of hydrological processes within these systems is essential for sustainable management of natural resources and for making informed environmental policy decisions. My projects utilize ground-based observations, remote sensing, and computational modeling to obtain comprehensive understanding of the distribution of snow and ice. Additional projects aim at developing techniques for scaling hydrological processes and for designing ground-based observation networks tailored for integration with remote sensing and modeling. Studies relating fluxes of water, carbon, and nitrogen are also a focus of my current projects – in particular the feedbacks between water availability and carbon cycling in montane forests. |
