California My M.S. research was on the geology at the intersection of the Garlock and Southern Death Valley fault zones. I worked in the Avawatz Mountains Quaternary climate of the southwest U.S . This was a high-resolution model that was based on canonical regression methods. Here's an image of a simulation of January precipitation at 18,000 yrs ago, based on this model. The model has a 10-km resolution.
Blues indicate wet regions, reds indicate dry regions.
Note the high precipitation in the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges. Global climate simulations I spent two years as a Research Associate in the Department of Civil Engineering and Operations Research at Princeton University working on the sensitivity of the GFDL general circulation model to surface hydrology. I spent two years in the Department of Geological Science at Case Western Reserve University working on a field hydrology project for the U.S.Forest Service . Our group was measuring sediment transport in headwater streams in central Idaho. I have also worked on the hydrology of spring-fed streams.
