Steven Loheide

Dr. Loheide leads the Hydroecology and Ecosystem Engineering research group, which is interested in science and engineering aspects of the movement of water through the environment as related to the complex and changing interactions among water needed for municipal and industrial uses, agriculture, and natural ecosystems.

Much of the group’s efforts are focused on improving the scientific context of ecosystem restoration; in particular, they develop methods to quantify and understand the processes controlling the exchange of water between groundwater, vadose water, vegetation, streams, and the atmosphere.
