Biography
Research in my lab focuses on watershed hydrology and geomorphology in human-altered landscapes. Current projects focus on plastic pollution and anthropogenic litter, stormwater management, urban stream geomorphology, and ecological restoration. Much of my research is field-based, but my group also makes use of laboratory experiments, stable isotope analyses, geographic information systems (GIS), and hydrologic modeling. For more information, please see my website.
