Our research interests lie in the area of ecohydrology – studying the way in which water moves through ecosystems, both natural and urban. We are particularly interested in the impacts of vegetation on the movement of water, carbon, and energy between the land surface and atmosphere, and vice versa. We study some of the ways in which plants have altered their hydraulic and photosynthetic strategies to survive in water-limited ecosystems, and what this means for the future of natural and agro-ecosystems impacted by climate change. To better understand inherently stochastic and nonlinear processes such as rainfall and ecosystem responses we use computational modeling as well as tools from probability theory and nonlinear dynamics.
