Originally from mid-Michigan, I made my way to the Upper Peninsula and then ended up in the Colorado foothills, all on a journey to study lakes and reservoirs (seemingly weird move, right?). Reservoirs storing the annual melt from mountain snowpack are the main sources of useable water  in the Western United States, but as the climate continues to change, and people continue to move West (just like I did), strains on our water supply increase. I'm interested in better understanding the dynamics at the air-water interface, especially evaporation and its meteorological controls, and relating that to water resources management and decision making.
