Water is one of the Earth's most important resources - without it we wouldn't have agriculture, industry, or even life on Earth! Experience has shown us, however, that it is very easy to degrade our water resources through pollution and mismanagement. My goal is to contribute to our understanding of the role of water in natural and human systems so as to ensure that this resource is protected while considering both human and environmental demands.
My current research focuses on aquifer characterization for groundwater flow and contaminant transport problems. In particular, I am investigating the link between geophysical and hydrologic parameters to make geophysical measurements useful tools to aid in aquifer characterization. I am also developing methods to use geophysical measurements as quantitive constraints in hydrologic inverse problems. An important part of this research involves understanding the complex and multi-scale nature of geologic environments.
