Research Focus

Our research group primarily researches how urban development affects water resources, including:

Our research is based in the Denver region (Fillo et al. 2021; Wilson et al. in prep; Knight et al. 2021) and nationally (Opalinski et al. 2020; Bhaskar et al. 2020; Shuster et al. 2021). Previous work was carried in Clarksburg, Maryland (Bhaskar et al. 2016, Bhaskar et al. 2018) and Baltimore, Maryland region Bhaskar and Welty 2012; Bhaskar and Welty 2015; Bhaskar et al. 2015, 2016).  The kinds of methods we use are collection and analysis of field-based observations (e.g., Fillo et al. in review; Bhaskar et al. 2018), development and application of methods to analyze streamflow (Bhaskar et al. 2020; Hopkins et al. 2020; Wilson et al. in prep), and coupled surface-subsurface modeling (Choat and Bhaskar 2020; Bhaskar and Welty 2015; Bhaskar et al. 2015, 2016).
