Andrew Stubblefield – Assistant Professor Hydrology and Watershed Management
Personal and Research Interests:
I am interested in the source, transport and fate of fine sediment and associated nutrients in watersheds. In particular, I am interested in investigating the hydrological processes that link land management, erosion and sediment transport with water quality.
My specializations include:
- Water quality monitoring, chemistry and instrumentation.
- Use of naturally occurring radionuclides, laser digital relief meters and rare earth elements for the study of erosional processes.
- Ecosystem health assessment.
