Process-Based Modeling of Water–Carbon Dynamics

A central and sustained contribution of my postdoctoral research is improving hydrological and biogeochemical process representation in ecosystem and land surface models. I have contributed to the development of the ELM-SPRUCE modeling framework within the DOE-supported Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), improving simulations of methane dynamics by incorporating water table variability, soil hydrology, plant regulation, and microbial processes across boreal and tropical systems.
