My research emphasizes (1) watershed hydrology, including the measurement, modeling, and management of uncertainty and risk for non-point source pollution of surface and groundwater; (2) spatial statistics for modeling and estimating spatial variability as applied to precision farming and natural resources; (3) best management practices for improved soil quality and sustainability; and (4) evaluation of policies for soil and water resources.
