Major research interests are in the area of stochastic modeling of surface hydrologic and geomorphologic processes. Specific areas of research include modeling and estimation of space-time rainfall using rain gauge, radar, and satellite data; geomorphologic study of river networks, channel morphology, and hydrologic response. Current research focuses on understanding and quantifying the statistical structure of hydrologic processes at a range of scales of interest to hydrology. The purpose is to unravel scale invariant relationships from the highly irregular patterns exhibited by most hydro-geomorphologic processes, because most such relationships would have important practical implications for modeling, measurement and prediction over a range of scales. Of particular interest are remotely sensed rainfall fields and channel/channel network structures.
