Background

My research seeks to incorporate and evaluate anthropogenic influences into the hydrologic cycle  To do this, I explicitly consider the effect of groundwater withdrawals, surface water alterations, climate and water management decisions.  The key question that guides my research is: how have we humans muddled the hydrologic cycle, and how will we continue to muddle the cycle in the future?  Answering these questions allows us to work toward meeting our water demands in sustainable ways.
