Research Description:

Dr. Reed Maxwell’s research interests center on understanding how much terrestrial freshwater we have on earth and how fast this is being replenished or depleted. This focuses on hard problems in hydrology that include groundwater, evapotranspiration and snow. His research focus on understanding connections within the hydrologic cycle and how they relate to water quantity and quality under anthropogenic stresses. His research group uses a broad range of approaches to study these questions, including integrated hydrologic modeling, field observations and remote sensing products.
