RESEARCH INTERESTS

The study and application of Geographic Informations Systems (GISs) supporting hydrologic, water resource models and concepts. In particular study of the digital description of the landscape to derive drainage and other hydrologic properties. Data management and simulation models for the assessment of agriculture impact on water quality. Study the model inclusion of riparian zone NPS pollution control potential. Modeling and integration of soil geographic databases and gridded precipitations (NEXRAD). Development of GIS software used in the US (USEPA BASINS tools) and worlwide (AVSWAT) for TMDL and other watershed scale water quality assessment projects.
