We conduct comprehensive collaborative research to inform ecosystem management practices that affect hydrologic systems. Some of our research themes include an exploration of the role of upland forest management on hydrologic processes, the implications of dam and reservoir management on associated resources, and the stewardship of springs ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates of our programs work in the private, governmental, and non-governmental sectors doing land and resource science, management and planning. We focus on modern arid and semi-arid climate systems in Western North America, but include research and teaching from all modern and ancient climate systems.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
