I am a broadly trained geo-environmental scientist with a research focus on water– its movement and characteristics on surface, sub-surface, and near-surface atmosphere. I use remotely sensed data and GIS methods to study hydrologic processes in the scales ranging from a point of interest to watershed. My past research has focused on the geochemical signatures of natural waters; hydrologic processes in watershed such as precipitation-runoff-soil erosion-sediment delivery; human alteration of land cover and resulting alteration of energy and water balance; and extraction of albedo, emissivity and land surface temperature from Landsat. Currently, I am working on analyzing water quality of stream reaches and groundwater wells and its linkage to geology and surficial watershed processes, extracting vegetation characteristics of forested ecosystem and hydrogeomorphic features of inland water bodies using remote sensing data.

My research interests are on human impacts on the environment at different spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, I am curious about the processes related to land and water interfaces and their effect on humans, as well as the roles that humans play in affecting these systems. I utilize Earth systems science, geospatial technologies, and mixed methods research to examine these intricate relationships.
