... His research activities encompass stochastic theories of transport processes for unsaturated flow, fractured media, chemically heterogeneous media, variable viscosity fluids, biodegradation, multiphase flow, controlled field experiments on macrodispersion in aquifers and unsaturated flow, supercomputer simulation of flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media, and stimulation of in situ biodegradation using gas injection.

... His current research interests include interactions of aquatic community structure and ecosystem function, energy, and nutrient flow in food webs; bacterivory by aquatic invertebrates; stable isotopes as food web tracers; and nitrogen cycling. His current research projects include estimating controls of nutrient uptake and retention in streams in Grand Teton National Park.
