Key Research Interests

  • Land use/management impacts on catchment hydrological processes
  • Vegetation-soil-water linkages with respect to water storage, transmission and release
  • Flood and drought management
  • River regulation impacts on in-stream flows and aquatic ecology of rivers
  • Integrating tracer (stable water isotopes, water quality, temperature) analyses with hydrometric monitoring and other (cosmic ray, geophysical) sensing and modelling techniques
