Areas of Interest
My research interest is in the quantity and quality of surface waters, especially as influenced by agricultural practices, in the hydraulics of flow in erodible channels, in hydrologic/water quality modeling of disturbed and agricultural watersheds and in parameter estimation and uncertainty.
