Kevin formerly served as assistant professor with the Center for the Environment in a joint appointment with the USDA Forest Service. His research interests focus on understanding how water moves through terrestrial ecosystems and into the stream environment. Kevin's approach combines field experiments using natural and artificial tracers, geochemistry, and hydrologic measurements with simple models at the hillslope and watershed scales. The overall goal of his work is to develop better conceptual models of watershed hydrological processes that can assist with management applications and in understanding environmental change and variability.
