Research Interests

Streamflow generation, groundwater-surface water interactions, use of environmental tracers in hydrology, integration of modeling and data, interdisciplinary research

Current Research projects:

• Use of stable water isotopes in the study of water cycling in Precambrian Boreal Shield watersheds and lakes.
• Computer modeling of water quality and quantity in Boreal Shield watersheds.
• The Lake Nipissing Bays project: from headwaters to lake.
  • Study of the influence of meteorological conditions on internal nutrient loading to water quality conditions in local bays.
  • Study of phosphorus loading from watershed to Bay.
• The Lake Nipissing Watershed State of the Basin Report:
