Institution : West Virginia University
Department : Plant and Soil Sciences, and Forestry and Natural Resources
Expertise : Biogeochemistry, Climate/Weather Modeling and Forecasting, Climate/Weather Impact Analysis (biochemistry and living resources), Climate/Weather Impact Analysis (flooding), Forests, Land Use, Sediment, Stream Health, Water Quality, Physical Hydrology
Chesapeake Management Areas : Sustainable Fisheries, Vital Habitats, Water Quality, Toxic Contaminants, Healthy Watersheds, Stewardship, Climate Resiliency
Research interests : My current research interests include natural and anthropogenic stressors that affect fundamental relationships of climate, soil, water, atmospheric and biogeochemical interactions that lie at the heart of watershed management. I am interested in quantitative predictive characterizations of the outcomes of current, and future management strategies, and climate change scenarios. I am keenly interested in the examination of appropriateness of current ecosystem management practices and policies and in the Eastern United States and elsewhere given ongoing dynamic population growth and development pressures on fresh water resources. Specific research includes: hydrology and climate, runoff processes, biogeochemical transport and loading (nutrients, chemicals, sediment), hydro-geomorphology, forest hydrology, evaporation and transpiration processes, forest canopy interception processes, watershed hydrology, watershed collaborative adaptive management, water use and management.
