Disturbance Hydro-eco-geomorphology: How do the Watershed Systems Respond to Disturbances?

December 10, 2018

Poster, AGU Fall Meeting 2018, Washington D.C.

Presented the different ecohydrology models built with Landlab. We looked at few hypotheses exploring the impacts of disturbances such as wildfires and grazing on semiarid ecosystems. I really enjoyed preparing the iPoster (for the first time!). I prefer iPosters as I feel we can convey the scientific information better with GIFs and videos. Access the poster here.

Studying the role of disturbances on woody plant encroachment in Southwestern US using a coupled Landlab Ecohydrology Model.

poster, CSDMS Annual Meeting 2017, Boulder, Colorado

Presented on development of a hybrid model that couples local soil moisture and plant dynamics and cellular automata plant establishment and mortality with explicitly modeled disturbances (such as fires and grazing). Access the poster here.

Talk, PuPPy Monthly Meetup, Seattle, Washington

Lightning talk presented at the Puget Sound Programming Python (PuPPy) monthly meetup. Loved giving this talk to a wonderful crowd with diverse backgrounds. Access the slides used in the talk here.

Elevation Control on Vegetation Organization in a Semiarid Ecosystem in Central New Mexico.

December 14, 2015

Poster, AGU Fall Meeting, San Francisco, California

In this work, I looked at the elevation control on vegetation organization in semiarid central New Mexico. I used an ecohydrology model (CATGraSS) built using Landlab’s ecohydrology components. Access the poster here.
