Joseph is a proud tribal member of Cochiti Pueblo in New Mexico. He is a PhD student in the Watershed Science program in Warner College of Natural Resources. He has spent 10 years as a hydrologist in environmental consulting throughout New Mexico and Southern Colorado. His work focuses on post-wildfire hydrology, mitigation, and restoration. As a Pueblo person from a long line of land stewards, he strives to support tribes in the stewardship of ancestral lands in the face of a changing climate.
Will is a PhD student in the Watershed Science program. He is an aspiring geospatial data scientist, remote sensing scientist, and hydrologist. His research focuses on post-fire hydrology in the mountains.
Erika is an MS student in Watershed Science interested in the hydrologic effects of wildfire on mountainous watersheds. Her research focuses on the effects of fire on snowpack and, examining whether these effects impact the energy budget in post-fire landscapes.
Clara is a PhD student in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology. She is interested in the development of science-based land use planning and policy approaches, with the aim of maintaining ecosystem services integrity and improving human well-being in the wildland-urban interface. Her research focuses on the effects of residential growth and climate change on forest loss, wildfire risk, and water provision and quality.
Project manager for Stream Tracker (streamtracker.org), focusing on program outreach and recruitment, as well as developing and maintaining the community and streamflow sensor monitoring networks. Broad research interests include streamflow intermittence in Rocky Mountain headwater catchments and community engagement in watershed stewardship.
Megan is a PhD student in Watershed Science studying the hydrologic effects of wildfire across an elevation gradient. Using a network of weather stations and streamflow monitoring equipment, manual snow measurements, and remote sensing, she will examine how fire affects both snowpack and streamflow generation and whether these effects change over time.
Sushma is a PhD student in the Watershed Science Program interested in evaluating the impact of wildfire on the streamflow. Her research focuses on improving water supply forecasts in the western US.
Kampf is Professor of Watershed Science at Colorado State University.
