I am currently a post-doc at the University of Colorado, Boulder. My dissertation looked at the relationship between soil hydraulic properties and surface temperature. Soil hydraulic properties control the movement of water within the soil. This in turn partitions rainfall into runoff, infiltration, and evapotranspiration (ET). Soil hydraulic properties are important parameters in climate models, weather prediction, flood forecasting, and aquifer recharge studies. However, the spatial distribution of these properties is very poorly understood. I hope to use the relationship between surface temperatures and soil hydraulic properties to determine hydraulic properties from remotely sensed surface temperatures.
