watershed management practices against wildfire, on the exports of 
dissolved organic matter (DOM) from forested watersheds and associated 
biogeochemical processes and impacts on drinking water treatability and 
supplies. This project seeks to connect basic and applied sciences, 
engineering, forestry, hydrology, and chemistry to identify forest 
management practices to protect our potable source waters due to climate 
change. The associate will work in an interdisciplinary team

treatability of different source waters including understanding of 
disinfection byproduct formation (e.g., THMs and NDMA).   E/30%
