Research Interests
The primary focus of the UW effort in year one of the NECSC has been on quantifying the impact of climate change on watershed hydrology, with the main focus on precipitation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, groundwater recharge, and groundwater discharge to streams, lakes, and wetlands. The longer term goal is to expand this area to include the co-development of adaptation strategies to managers of aquatic systems.
