Research on Arctic Lakes and Rivers

Lake El'gygytgyn, Siberia. This lake lies within a meteorite impact crater formed 3.6 million years ago, and the sediment cores we have extracted from here have been used to reconstruct the longest climate record from a terrestrial Arctic source. My involvement with the project is largely understanding the modern hydrological environment. Click here to learn more.
   
Kuparuk River, Alaska. The Kuparuk River has been home to the longest hydrologic research program in the Alaskan Arctic. My involvement has mainly been in the form of developing better digital elevation models for use in hydrological modeling. Click here to learn more.
   
TopoFlow. TopoFlow is a spatially-distributed, physically/empirically based hydrological simulation model. My involvement has largely been initiating the project and designing the model architecture to allow for user-friendly controls and the means to add alternative subroutines for model components without modifying the source code. Scott Peckham is the lead scientist on this effort. Click here to learn more.
