          As a broadly trained geographer, my teaching and research interests are in physical/environmental geography and geographic information science. I enjoy teaching introductory physical geography, climate and water resources, hydrology, urban streams, GIS for water resources, and spatial quantitative analysis. My research interests in hydrology and water resources lie in examining the human modification of the hydrologic system. I examine the complex interactions among climate change, land use change, and water resource management that drive major changes in the quantity and quality of water. To understand and model such a complex system, I use an integrated approach that embraces biophysical sciences, social sciences, and information sciences.
