Earth systems and environmental change
I work on questions that sit across disciplinary boundaries rather than within a single narrow environmental domain. This includes hydrologic processes, climate stress, land use change, urban heat, adaptation planning, and sustainability transitions. A central goal of this work is to connect spatial patterns and modeled futures to decisions that matter for policy and planning.
Water and hydrologic systems
My work examines precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, infiltration, and basin level water balance under historical and future climate conditions. I use spatially explicit approaches to understand how watershed processes shift with both climate change and land cover dynamics.
Climate and adaptation
I study how climate signals reshape resource systems and adaptation opportunities. This includes work on climate scenarios, uncertainty across model ensembles, and emerging options such as atmospheric water harvesting under different environmental and infrastructural conditions.
Urban environments and heat
Through remote sensing and geospatial analysis, I examine land surface temperature, urban heat island dynamics, and urban land cover change. This line of work connects urban growth to environmental exposure and sustainability planning.
System dynamics and sustainability
In addition to spatial modeling, I use systems thinking to analyze feedbacks, path dependencies, and transition dynamics. This allows me to connect physical processes with governance, institutional choices, and long term sustainability pathways.
