Untangling the invisible connections between hydrology and ecosystem processes

Abstract: My research group largely conducts field and modeling research projects in which we seek to 
quantitatively reveal the underpinnings of hydrologic processes in earth systems and ecosystems.  I’ll 
provide a bit of an overview and some of my background that led me to the current trajectory of my research 
group, along with some opportunities we are currently pursuing.  We will briefly explore three research 
themes that my research group has and continues to explore – 1) stream-groundwater interactions and their 
impact on biogeochemical cycling and water quality, 2) Arctic earth and ecosystem response to a warming 
climate, and 3) coupling of Antarctic hydrologic and ecosystem processes.
