This page lists the current Faculty, Staff, Graduate students, Undergraduate students who are part of our research group, and affiliated faculty that help drive our research program forward. See our Lab Alumni page for a list of those that have been instrumental in shaping the course of our research in the past–and with whom we often still collaborate.

Affiliated Faculty
We work very closely with other faculty in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and elswhere.
| Name | Title (Lab) | Research Interests | |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Dr. David Hyndman | Dr. Hyndman’s research interests include developing novel methods to characterize the aquifers that store and transmit water supplies critical to human and ecological health, helping develop methods to clean contaminated aquifers using emerging technologies such as bioremediation, and quantifying the human impacts on changes in climate and land use on the water cycle. His research involves coupling novel models with high resolution field data to explore the physical, chemical, and ecological processes in natural and anthropogenically altered systems. | |
