Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My students and I study sediment and water balances in aging reservoirs, collaborative governance of transnational fresh waters, the design of centralized and decentralized wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse systems in urban areas, and hydrologic ecosystem services in urban areas and in systems for which sediment production, transport, and deposition have significant consequences.
Our methods typically combine field data collection and analysis with numerical modeling, both of physical process models and systems models with optimization.
