Research topics
- I am interested in understanding how catchments function (catchment-scale hydrological and water quality processes) under natural and anthropogenic impacts (changes in land use/land cover, agricultural practices, climate) at mesoscale catchments. My current research includes but not limited to using the travel times (specifically with the StorAge Selection functions) to understand catchment nutrient export at different spatial and temporal scales.
Tool/Software
- I have developed several modified versions of the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) for simulating regional groundwater flow in porous media, interbasin groundwater flow in karst-dominated areas, and flood routing, and the mesoscale Hydrologic Model (mHM) for modeling nitrate export
- I am the developer of R-SWAT, an interactive graphical user interface app (free, open-source) for parameter calibration/sensitivity/uncertainty analysis with the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). R-SWAT was listed on the official website of SWAT.
