NEW STUFF!!

I recently completed my Ph.D. at UT Austin, and I am now working as a research hydrologist at the National Weather Service Hydrologic Research Lab in Silver Spring, MD. The final version of my dissertation is now online. See link below under Online Publications.

INTRODUCTION

This page describes research that I was involved with during my 5 years as a graduate student at the Center for Research in Water Resources, UT Austin. A general theme of my research at UT was using GIS to solve problems in hydrology and water resources. The purpose of this page is to share information about my research with co-workers and anyone else who is interested.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

Dissertation topic: Develop and test a methodology for continuous soil moisture accounting over large areas that uses soil parameters derived automatically from standard USDA soils databases and also uses state of the art climatic information including NWS NEXRAD precipitation data and NASA surface radiation budget data. Research sponsor: Hydrologic Engineering Center, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Related Power Point Presentation.
An ArcView 3 Pre-processing System for HMS (HECPREPRO v. 2.0)
Spatial Water Balance of Texas
Soil-Water Balance Calculations for an FAO/UNESCO Sponsored Project in West Africa
