Chesapeake Management Areas : Water Quality, Climate Resiliency |
Research interests : My research interests include spatial statistical data analysis and mathematical modeling of environmental and energy systems. Past research has addressed spatial outlier detection, geostatistical uncertainty analysis, and multiobjective risk analysis applied to geothermal energy systems development in the Appalachian Basin. Current research interests include spatial analysis of water quality risks in watersheds, and multiobjective management of water systems, with particular interest in optimizing policies to meet water quality objectives.

Chesapeake Management Areas : Water Quality |
Research interests : Water quality monitoring and habitat assessments of shallow and open waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Particular emphasis on autonomous monitoring (e.g., continuous monitoring) for characterizing the health of shallow water habitats. Shallow water monitoring data also used to assess Chesapeake Bay water quality criteria for dissolved oxygen, water clarity, and chlorophyll in shallow water habitats, determine attainment or non-attainment of shallow water habitats for their designated uses, assess SAV habitats and identify potential SAV restoration sites, provide information to better understand ecosystem processes and the impact of extreme events (e.g. hurricanes, high flows, sanitary sewer overflows) in shallow water environments, provide data for calibrating the Bay Eutrophication and Watershed Model, and to track progress of habitat restoration and environmental mitigation efforts.
