Synergistic Activities:
1. Hydrologic alteration wrought by urbanization: research on the problems of conventional engineering techniques to design stormwater management systems, using continuous hydrologic modeling to analyze urban hydrology and design stormwater structures.

2. Multi-Disciplinary studies of riparian buffer effectiveness: I have collaborated with aquatic entomologists and wildlife biologists to evaluate hydrologic, geomorphic, water chemistry, and biotic responses of streams and floodplains to adjacent timber harvest, with and without various BMPs, principally riparian buffers.
