Multi-Watershed Perturbation-Response Traits Derived through Ecological Theory

This project is focused on transforming our ability to understand and predict how outside influences alter biogeochemical hot spots and hot moments on surface and subsurface systems. We are developing new theories and models across a broad range of watersheds to ultimately inform next-generation Earth system models and help preserve clean water.
