Cheryl started her career studying pesticides and other water-quality issues in Wyoming's groundwater and surface water. Other work has involved evaluating groundwater/surface-water interaction, and how that interaction influences water quality and biological processes.
Recently, Cheryl has been able to combine her understanding of many facets of hydrology and has had increased focus on using multi-disciplinary approaches to answer hydrologic questions. In particular, she enjoys using analytical techniques or available data in non-traditional ways to collaborate with other scientists.
Cheryl is also the WY-MT Water Science Center Communications Specialist.
