CVEN 5333: Physical Hydrology
- Introduces hydrology as a quantitative science describing the occurrence, distribution and movement of water at and near the surface of the earth. Develops a quantitative understanding of atmospheric water, infiltration, evapotranspiration and surface runoff. Studies global climatology and large scale climate drivers of regional hydrology at interannual time scales. Solves engineering problems related to water resources.

Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering

Current M.S. Civil Engineering student at the University of Colorado-Boulder studying Hydrology and Water Resources concentration. I am generally interested in surface-groundwater interactions and modeling of hydrologic systems. My research focuses on spatial and temporal patterns of water quality in the Upper Colorado River.
