Research
Overview
My research is interdisciplinary in nature and is focused on a range of water-related questions. My emphasis is usually the development and application of numerical models to study interfaces in hydrology, but there is also a significant field component to my work. My interests span a variety of hydrology, water resources and water quality topics including: surface water and the terrestrial hydrologic cycle; interactions of the land-surface, surface water and groundwater, and the atmosphere; human health risk assessment; and reactive contaminant transport and geochemical cycling.
The application of numerical models to water resources problems, with their inherent complications, is difficult. Because of this, my group develops models that draw on novel numerical methods and parallel or high-performance computing. My work is collaborative and I pursue lines of inquiry that transcend scientific and disciplinary boundaries by using models to understand and bridge scales and processes. I have a fantastic research group and they are critical to the projects the reason for the successes you see here.
We don't know how much freshwater we have on Earth nor do we know how fast it is being replenished. Finding the answer to this fundamental question wil require the combination of models, observations and other theory and products. HydroFrame is a project to make national hydrologic simulations more accessible. We are building tools so that you can rapidly subset, run and share hydrologic models of any watershed in the US all in the cloud. HydroFrame is intended to bring the hydrologic community together to help answer some of these fundamental questions.
HydroGEN: A physically rigorous, machine learning platform for hydrologic scenario generation in a no-analog future
HydroGEN is a platform for hydrologic simulation that places the power of integrated hydrologic models in the hands of water managers and decision makers. We train machine learning emulators on advanced physically based hydrologic simulations. This allows our users to generate custom hydrologic scenarios which are both physically rigorous and computationally efficient. By leveraging both physical models and observations we can provide scenarios of what happens to our planet's resources when we are off the road map. Users will be able to rapidly and easily explore the potential for changing conditions and unprecedented events, which are difficult for machine learning approaches trained only on past behavior to capture on their own. Furthermore, most scientifically rigorous scenarios are generated at the national and global scale leaving local users with little control to modify or explore their particular area of interest. Our platform is focused on providing customizable scenarios so that individual users can generate exactly what they need to inform their own critical decisions. Users are able to customize their spatial area and metrics of interest as well as design the historical or future scenarios they would like to explore. Our platform goes well beyond just streamflow and is designed to provide spatially distributed simulations of complete watershed systems including groundwater, soil moisture, streamflow and plant water use. We understand that decision makers require transparency and reliability in any tool they use. Therefore, our platform will include model exploration tools that provide explainable AI, as well as metric and scenario exploration. Users do not need to be machine learning experts. Our tools are designed to let them focus on the variables and metrics that are of interest to them and not the mechanics of the modeling. The World's future problems are substantial, but modern tools can help. HydroGEN is a tool to put better water information in the hands of decision makers. Supported by the US National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator Program.
Understanding water fluxes in an emblematic headwaters watershed
The East River catchment is a representative headwater basin of the Colorado River, which in turn supplies the Southwest United States with water for energy, irrigation, and municipal use. Given that 85% of streamflow is generated in small, topographically-complex basins, more research is needed to understand nutrient and water cycling in these regions. The Maxwell group contributes to the larger Department of Energy Scientific Focus Area by developing and testing integrated models of the catchment at multiple scales and maintaining multiple meteorological towers to validate simulations. Our interdisciplinary team merges field observations, model development, and climate change studies to better understand water availability for the Western United States. Current work includes improving the snow formulation of the ParFlow-CLM model by comparing simulated results to observational networks and reconciling errors in the energy balance; exploring the importance of small-scale heterogeneity to controlling water and energy fluxes; and understanding how model resolution and other scale effects complicate predicted future water export from headwater basins.
Simulating hydrology and land-energy processes at the continental scale
Changes in water storage and supply is a growing global challenge with implications in human and environmental health. Recent literature suggests that expanding hydrologic studies across continental and even global scales may provide critical insight into nonlinear interactions between the water and energy budgets; help connect, explain and guide observations from the point scale to remote sensing; inform climate and weather models that operate at the mesoscale and above; and improve national water management by bridging water management scales, e.g. from local municipalities to inter-state water policies. The Maxwell group models hydrologic processes across the Continental US (CONUS) using an integrated surface-subsurface hydrologic model, ParFlow, to study the influence of climate variations on hydrologic processes. The ParFlow CONUS model is applied to a range of applications, including 1) topographic and climatic controls to continental-scale groundwater heterogeneity; 2) the influence of hydrofacies, hydraulic parameters and availability of hydrogeologic data on simulated surface energy fluxes; 3) groundwater storage controls on Budyko relationships; 4) anthropogenic-induced anomalies to recharge and their scale-dependent impacts to national groundwater resources; 5) land-atmosphere interactions, specifically the impact of terrestrial hydrology representation in the lower boundary condition of meteorological and climate modeling; and 6) interannual variability of groundwater anomalies and comparisons of major storage changes to the Gravity Research and Climate Recovery Experiment. Studying integrated hydrologic processes across a range of scales will improve our understanding of water storage, water depletion, and groundwater-land surface coupling, and will improve national water management.

ParFlow is an open-source, object-oriented, parallel watershed flow model. It includes fully-integrated overland flow, the ability to simulate complex topography, geology and heterogeneity and coupled land-surface processes including the land-energy budget, biogeochemistry and snow (via CLM). It is multi-platform and runs with a common I/O structure from laptop to supercomputer. ParFlow is the result of a long, multi-institutional development history and is now a collaborative effort between Princeton, F-Z Juellich, UniBonn, LLNL, WSU, LBL, and LTHE. ParFlow has been coupled to the mesoscale, meteorological code ARPS, the NCAR code WRF and the German Weather Service model COSMO.
ParFlow is on GitHub, we recommend starting there. The project may be accessed here.
EcoSLIM
EcoSLIM is a Lagrangian, particle-tracking model for simulating subsurface , diagnosing transport, ravel times, paths etc, and integrates seamlessly with ParFlow.
