Unlocking the energy-water interdependency through bio-augmented treatment of produced water for agricultural re-use and aquifer recharge
The supply and demand for energy and water within the US is increasingly intertwined. Several examples of this include the large volumes of water consumed by hydraulic fracking, the reliance of energy-intensive groundwater pumping in agriculture, and the significant water and powe...

Gaps Between Western U.S. Reservoir Inflows and Headwater Precipitation Timing, Amount, and Phase
Snowmelt from mountain headwater basins supplies approximately 80% of the runoff to reservoirs in the western United States (WUS), and is therefore a key component of western hydropower. Yet predicting runoff from hydrometeorological data in complex terrain (and its sensitivity to...
