Education:

• B.S., Minnesota State University, Mankato, Biology
• M.S., University of Nevada, Reno, Hydrology
• Ph.D., University of Minnesota, Water Resources Science

Professional Interests:

Mark’s research and teaching centers around water transport as an integrator of environmental systems. His past research has focused on hydrologic control of terrestrial to aquatic biogeochemical interactions. More recently, he has played a leading role in a national hydrologic synthesis effort focused on quantifying human-water interactions in the Northeast U.S. from 1600 to 2100 A.D. This research brings a greater emphasis on (1) understanding past modifications of the land- and waterscapes to understand current hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological legacies, and (2) be able to make meaningful statements about how to manage water resources into the future.
