Research Interest

• Developing a virtual ecohydrological laboratory for the Demnitz Mill Creek to simulate and analyze land use change scenarios.
• Quantifying the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecohydrological fluxes, storage patterns, and water partitioning in response to varying land uses.
• Assessing the resilience of landscapes to climate perturbations and land management practices, with a focus on forest management.
