I lead the Landscape Flux Research Group at the University of Arkansas and focus on connections between the carbon and water cycles in agricultural and wetland environments. This field-based research involves long-term measurements of key environmental fluxes (e.g., evapotranspiration, surface water flows, CO2 and methane emissions from the landscape to the atmosphere). This research also provides the basis for process studies and computer modeling approaches to environmental systems.
