About

My research themes revolve around the exchange of heat, water, and momentum (i.e., energy transport by air movement) across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum in the Earth's Critical Zone (the thin living skin spanning from the top of the canopy to the bottom of the groundwater). These interrelated exchange processes regulate the natural environment and determine the abundance of life-sustaining resources. I explore both natural and agricultural ecosystems, which compound a holistic, complementary view. My toolbox comprises field experiments utilizing state-of-the-art micro-meteorological instrumentation, to which I apply modeling approaches. I am particularly fascinated by deserts, environments that are vast but severely underexplored.
