I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the
University of Colorado Boulder working at the intersection
of hydrology, water-resources systems, remote sensing,
hydrological forecasting, and hydroclimatic extremes.
My research focuses on understanding how reservoirs respond
to drought, climate variability, human water use, and changing
hydrological conditions.
I use satellite observations, hydrological models,
reservoir-system models, and data-driven techniques to study
freshwater systems from basin to global scales.
My current research focuses on evaluating how improvements
in streamflow forecasts translate into better water-management
decisions in the Colorado River Basin.
I use RiverWare and the Colorado River Mid-term Modeling
System (CRMMS) to investigate reservoir operations,
pool elevations, water-allocation policies, and forecast scenarios.
My broader research has focused on global reservoir monitoring
using MODIS and VIIRS observations, reservoir-based drought
monitoring, drought propagation, groundwater and flood variability,
and climate-change impacts on water resources.
