Intro
My research encompasses a broad range of hydrology and hydraulics, including hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, mapping, and data collection, water quality sampling and analysis, and data management. My current focus is on combining hydrologic and hydraulic data and models for application in human-environment interactions, including flood inundation mapping and mapping of bathymetry.

Surface-water quality in the Lake Erie/Niagara River Basin of New York State
Problem The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) intends to develop a Nine-Element Watershed Plan (http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/103264.html) for the Lake Erie/Niagara Basin. To develop the Nine-Element Plan, NYSDEC needs a high quality, quality assured, nutrient-loading dataset to serve as a baseline against which future change can be measured and to identify areas i

Harmonized discrete and continuous water quality data in support of modeling harmful algal blooms in the Illinois River Basin, 2005 - 2020
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are overgrowths of algae or cyanobacteria in water and can be harmful to humans and animals directly via toxin exposure or indirectly via changes in water quality and related impacts to ecosystems services, drinking water characteristics, and recreation. While HABs occur frequently throughout the United States, the driving conditions behind them are not well understood,
