Research Interests
My primary research interest is the impacts of global change on hydrology and sediment. This encompasses investigating causes of changing streamflow across Michigan, land use impacts due to a ski area in Minnesota, legacy forestry impacts in Northern Michigan, and potential impacts of climate change on hydrology and sediment yield from agricultural watersheds in the southern portion of the Great Lakes Basin.
