Active Team Members
Drew Kellogg
Drew is a M.S. student in Civil Engineering at the University of Wyoming. His research interests are focused on the eco-hydrologic recovery of wildfire-stricken landscapes in the western United States. Drew will be performing a catchment scale study in the Medicine Bow National Forest, looking at how terrain-mediated interactions between water, energy, and vegetation cause spatial heterogeneity in post-wildfire recovery.

Nana Afua Gyau Frimpong
Nana is a M.S. student at the University of Wyoming in civil engineering. Her research interests are in post-wildfire soil sealing processes in the southwestern United States forests. She is conducting laboratory rainfall simulation experiments to investigate soil sealing mechanisms immediately following a fire.

Adrian Marziliano
Adrian is a PhD student in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at the University of New Mexico. He is interested in remote sensing and snowpack monitoring for water resource applications. His current research focuses on assessing the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) snow data products for water supply estimates in the Navajo River catchment, upstream from a San Juan-Chama Project diversion dam. His research is funded by the Bureau of Reclamation.
