My research interests include high-resolution monitoring and modeling techniques to better understand groundwater flow in spatially and temporally complex geologic systems. Methods include geochemical sampling of groundwater after recharge events, fracture flow modeling, and the use of thermal imagery from drones. My study sites have included areas in Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, and now western Montana. |

As the semester wrapped up I created my final Geology Cake for my time here at Temple University. This is a ~tradition I started my first year as a teaching assistant where I'd make a geology-themed cake for my labs if more than 75% of the students completed their student feedback forms. For the Groundwater Hydrology class this year I also used the time to do a study session for the final exam which was the next day. Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake which went quickly (despite some slumping), and hopefully they appreciated the study session, as well! Soon after finals was graduation! Although this was the 3rd time I had personally participated in a college graduation ceremony it was nice to be part of the hooding ceremony for all the PhD graduates. Also, our graduation caps came with 50% more corners than everyone else. With teaching duties and graduation ceremonies all completed end the semester, it's time to begin wrapping up loose ends while I'm still here in Philly. Being part of the Hydrology Lab, one of those tasks is to go through all of our sample fridges and get rid of old water samples. Many of these samples were part of worked that has already been published, but you just never know when you might want to re-run a sample! As a result, some of them are a bit expired, such as this this one I had collected with my first undergraduate research assistant Rachel a few years back!
