RESEARCH INTERESTS

• My research field broadly includes both hydrogeology and geochemistry. My current research project has two-fold objective. One aspect is to study the factors that influence the stream chemistry including identifying different water sources and assessing in-stream geochemical and/or biogeochemical processes. The other aspect is tracing the sources of waters and solutes as well as studying long-term solute transport including nutrients at watershed scale. I am also interested in surface water and ground water interaction in “hyporheic zone”and what is the significance of this hyproheic exchange between surface water and ground water.
