Laboratory Fellow and Earth Scientist, PI of River Corridor Science Focus Area (SFA) - Opinions expressed here are my own and do not represent PNNL or Battelle.
What I do: River corridor and watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry across scales. The official project website is at tinyurl.com/5n825n75; here I share my own perspectives and stories of our research and related work by others around the world.
I am beyond thrilled to receive the DOE Early Career award! I look forward to the exciting science, fruitful collaborations, team building, and mentoring this award will enable over the next five years.

Coastal hurricanes 🌊🌪️in the US projected to grow stronger, especially as warming continues 📈🌡️, according to a new study led by @PNNLab . Read the piece by @Newsweek to learn more: newsweek.com/destructive-hur…
Understanding how coastal systems will respond to global change requires a lot of data. Researchers @PNNLab are making that data easier to access and navigate. They collected water, soil and sediment samples at 52 sites and have made the data open access: pnnl.gov/publications/open-d…

Meanders are ubiquitous features that regulate water quality along rivers. We explored their hydrodynamics and potential to act as net nitrate sources or sinks. Our insights are critical to river corridor science and can guide river restoration strategies. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
How do river meanders affect exchange flows and biogeochemistry? One interesting finding: Meander necks in high-sinuosity channels shield the effect of regional groundwater fluxes, resulting in persistent hyporheic zones. #PNNLRCSFA@PNNLabagupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
Check out our editorial on the new JGR journal: Machine Learning & Computation. We offer our perspectives on the rationale and scope of the journal. It's a significant moment—the AGU has launched its first new journal in years! Dive into the details here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
Microbial respiration in riverbeds is an important component of global carbon budgets but varies spatially. Our preprint (in peer review) demonstrates the use of machine learning and crowdsourced data to predict rates across large river basins. #PNNLRCSFAtinyurl.com/w3eyrkx9
