Expertise

My research and teaching is in the area of surface water hydrology. I focus on advancing the capability for hydrologic prediction by developing models that take advantage of new information and process understanding enabled by new technology. This includes the use of hydrologic and geographic information systems and digital elevation models that take advantage of spatially distributed information for hydrologic prediction. I have contributed to advances in terrain analysis for hydrology, terrain stability mapping and stream sediment inputs, geomorphology, stochastic and nonparametric statistical methods in hydrology, and snow hydrology. Software developed includes a terrain stability mapping ArcView extension, geographic information system software for terrain analysis and channel network extraction, and a snowmelt model.

Degree

Sc.D. in Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990
