My research focuses on the interface between the vadose zone and the atmosphere by combining fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and theoretical concepts using various sensing systems. I believe a holistic approach is needed to understand further the temporal and spatial distributions of water quality and quantity. My research integrates fundamental hydrological studies at multiple spatial and temporal scales by developing “easy to use” sensor arrays. The goal is to advance scientific knowledge of hydrological and biogeochemical processes at various scales and utilize creative instrumentation
