Paul is a Hydrologist with the National Research Program in Boulder, Colorado. Since 1987, he has been a principal investigator on many large scale and diverse hydrologic studies, including national scale acid rain studies, Grand Canyon flood reconstruction studies, paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental pollution studies on the glaciers of Wyoming, aquatic cycling of mercury and climate change studies as far south as the Florida Everglades and as far north as the Yukon River Basin, Alaska. Paul is also the laboratory supervisor for the Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budget (WEBB) Program. Paul encourages interactions among scientists and non scientists of diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
