Calling: Earth #053 - Patricia Spellman, Surface and Groundwater Hydrologist

I am a surface and groundwater hydrologist who uses a combination of field work and hydrological modeling to improve water resource management in vulnerable regions. I have worked in the Pacific, Caribbean, Middle East, and Florida to tackle problems understanding flow and transport in fractured (karst) aquifers, agricultural impacts on surface and groundwater systems, and freshwater distribution and residence times on small island states.
