The Watershed Hydrology Lab at the University of Wyoming studies how watershed structure (e.g. topography and vegetation) and climatic variability influence various metrics of watershed hydrologic response of natural and anthropogenically altered landscapes. To date, the research has focused on streamflow dynamics, the spatial distribution of water stored in a watershed, runoff source areas, and watershed memory effects. Approaches to disentangle these relationships in both natural and disturbed environments include a combination of field-based, remote sensing, and modeling methodologies. General interests include–but are not limited to–the following:
Watershed hydrology
Storage and memory (i.e. carry-over) effects
Evapotranspiration
Drone-based remote sensing
Snow hydrology
Disturbed/designed systems
Runoff source areas
(Shallow) groundwater dynamics
