Title: 
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering and the School of the Environment
Biography : 

My main research interests are in hydrological modeling and improving our understanding of the physical relations between the lower atmosphere and the earth’s surface. These relations couple the atmosphere with the land-surface and sea-surface divisions of Earth’s hydrological cycle. Mechanical description of the temporal and geographical fluctuations of water and heat in this cycle underlie many infrastructure systems, e.g., water and electricity supply, irrigation, fisheries, transportation etc.  In recent work I examined the stability of the regimes of ocean-atmosphere dynamical exchange in arid regions, with application to seawater desalination.
