Watershed biogeochemistry, eco-hydrology, watershed management, water quality modeling. Research focuses on coupled hydrological and ecological processes that affect water quality (e.g., nutrients, sediments) and water quantity (e.g., streamflow and water yield) issuing from watersheds. Understanding factors affecting conditions and trends in surface waters is increasingly important, providing a scientific basis for design and implementation of policies and land management programs to mitigate the effects of pollution, and to protect, conserve, and restore surface waters.
