My research has been focusing on the hydrological processes at the interfaces of bedrock-soil-vegetation-atmosphere, using approaches of remote sensing, geostatistics, analytical and numerical modeling. The specific topics include mountain precipitation mapping, hydrologic and ecological impacts of global climatic variability (e.g., ENSO, PDO) and change, remote sensing of vegetation coverage, mountain evapotranspiration modeling, hillslope water partitioning, mountain-block recharge estimation.
My current research projects at UTSA include:
Mapping potential and actual evapotranspiration in mountainous terrains
Downscaling NEXRAD and satellite-based rainfall products
Mountainous climate delineation (orographic effects, climatic teleconnection, etc.)
Shrub encroachment and its ecohydrologic impacts
