Duties, Current Research, and Other Professional Interests:

My research goals are to identify and characterize the primary watershed processes and landform structures affecting forested ecosystems in the Midsouth and Interior Highlands, and to understand how forest management affects these processes and structures. Within these goals, my major objectives are to: (1) characterize the physical features of different channel types in relatively undisturbed conditions; (2) determine how different channels respond structurally to disturbance events of varying magnitudes; (3) quantify streamflow and sediment processes within different channel types for runoff events of varying magnitudes; and (4) assess the effects of spatial and temporal scale on these processes. My research focuses primarily on upland forested watersheds, encompassing spatial scales from 1 to 5,000 hectares, and processes that operate over time scales of less than one year to 100 years.
