Experience  Research focus on hydrologic capture processes, i.e. capture processes through computer modeling (there is no direct measurement in the field):  what they are, why they are of critical interest, and how they are calculated. Has developed regional mathematical models and tools to determine capture that occurs from streambeds, evapotranspiration processes, and external inflows and outflows from regional boundaries.
