Research Interests

I am a hydrologist and geomorphologist focusing on water quality, water availability, and earth surface processes in environments ranging from high mountain catchments to urban streams. As a scientist with a legal background, I am also interested in the intersection of science, land management, and informed policymaking.

  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Geomorphology
  • Hydrogeology
