Surface water-groundwater interactions with equal emphasis on both hydrodynamic and geologic aspects; integrating hydrogeology, fluid dynamics and land-surface depositional processes.

Dr. Catania's research involves understanding ice sheet and glacier changes both from natural variability and climate forced variability. This involves improving the observational data sets that quantify cyrosphere…
