Research Interests:
1. Chesapeake Bay
Ecohydrological Modeling of Water Quantity and Quality in Watersheds: Development of datasets and modeling tools to simulate streamflow, sediment transport, nitrate and organic nitrogen, soluble and organic phosphorus, dissolved and particulate organic carbon, wetland water levels, and CH₄ emissions.
2. US Midwest
Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) HUC-8 and HUC-12 Watershed-Scale Water Quantity and Quality Dataset: Includes measurements and simulations of streamflow, sediment yield, nitrate and organic nitrogen, soluble and organic phosphorus, dissolved and particulate organic carbon, tile-drainage discharge, nitrate and soluble phosphorus loads, and N₂O and CO₂ fluxes from agricultural landscapes.
3. High Plains
