I began working with the AzWSC in 1990 in the Tucson Office and worked on many interesting local to state-scale projects that investigated land subsidence, water use, uncertainty in streamflow data, and stream-water quality. In 2005, I transfered to the Flagstaff Office and have investigated groundwater availability in northwestern Arizona. As part of the NAWQA Cycle 2 program I have investigated groundwater quality of basin-fill aquifers in the Southwest, the salinity of streams and basin-fill aquifers in the Southwest, and salinity of the Nation's streams. Several studies have focused on identifying statistical relations between water quality conditions and environmental factors, and then using these relations to predict water quality conditions across large regions of the United States.
