About

My overarching research goals are to investigate how climatic and human development changes affect natural resources, specifically water resources, and to find ways to mitigate these changes in order to minimize negative impacts on natural systems and human communities. 

Currently, my research focuses on investigating presence and nature of hydrological connectivity between headwater wetlands and the surrounding hydrological landscape, including downgradient wetlands, streams, and other waters.

My previous work has included utilizing carbonate paleontology, sedimentology, and stratigraphy to characterize carbonate platforms in South China, and conducting groundwater and surface water resource assessments in semi-arid to arid regions throughout Texas and in central Kenya.
