Professional Interests

My research is focused on understanding heat and mass transfer in the environment, especially as these processes are impacted by climate change and in turn affect ecosystems. I integrate field studies with numerical models of environmental processes, with a particular emphasis on the use of heat as a tracer for water movement.
