Thesis project:

I will be investigating the link between human induced global climate change and the snow-dominated hydrologic cycle in the Flathead Basin and in the Mission Mountains. Trends in precipitation, temperature, and snow fall amounts and how they are correlated with stream discharge will examined. The natural variation of these variables will also be investigated to see if the trends due to climate change can be discerned from the natural noise.

 

Most of the investigation will entail testing methods already being used by other investigators in regard to distinguishing the meaning of the results. Along with this I will test new statistical methods for quantifying at the hydrographs from the Flathead Basin.

 Hobbies

 There are two things that I love more than geology…hanging out with my family and discovering beautiful places. Usually these two things go hand-in-hand. Our pint-size dog Duffy is always up for a big adventure. Our favorite place to explore is the North Slope of the Uinta Mountains on the Wyoming/Utah border. Although, we are becoming fond of the amazing Bitterroot Mountains just south of Missoula.

 Even when I am hiking around I am thinking of geology. How the earth works, and how we (humans) are changing those processes.
