Zahra's primary research focuses on applying integrated hydrologic modeling (ParFlow) to analyze hydrologic partitioning in urban environment under current and reduced irrigation management. She is particularly interested in how landscape transformations shifting away from cool-season turfgrass affect groundwater recharge, streamflow, urban heat, and water use. Outside of research, she enjoys hiking in the mountains, biking, and traveling.
