WORK HISTORY
Supervisory Research Physical Scientist @U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
My research is focused on understanding the types, rates, causes, and consequences of land use change in relationship to water resources. This includes using coupled ecosystem, urban growth, and watershed models to examine the fate and transport of agricultural, industrial, urban, and mining pollution in surface waters, as well as their sources and sinks, and relationship with human populations. I correlate geospatial and temporal variables, and regional characteristics to address complex water issues. My goals are to identify and investigate solutions to drought and flooding hazards, for healthy watersheds and sustainable development.
