Climate variability and terrestrial water storage

I am a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow. My research merges diverse disciplines including soil science, geophysics, hydrology, and ecology. I examine the relationships between climate variability, land cover change, and terrestrial water storage. With escalating global climate change, the goal of this research is to support process understanding of ecosystem water stress and improve forecasts of water fluxes in the Earth’s critical zone.
