The Watershed Sciences Research Group at the University of Delaware is led by Dr. Shreeram Inamdar.  Key focus areas are:

• •  Impacts of anthropogenic land use legacies (e.g., milldams, road salt salinization, nutrient pollution, etc.) and compounding effects with Climate Change on riparian, wetland, and aquatic ecosystems

  • Memories/persistence of anthropogenic and climate legacies across ecosystem levels

  • Coupled interactions, cascading effects, and feedbacks between lithology, hydrology, biogeochemical cycles and microbial processes in riparian and aquatic environments

  • Extreme climate events and their impacts on natural and engineered systems

  • Enhancing ecosystem (especially floodplain) restorations through soil health engineering and rewilding of soil-plant microbiomes – with partnership with engineering professionals

We address these topics through a combination of field monitoring and conceptual modeling approaches.

If you are interested in joining our research group please contact Dr. Inamdar (contact info below).  We always welcome motivated graduate and undergraduate students.  Funding may be available through research grants.
