Gardner Hydrology Lab
University of Pittsburgh, Department of Geology and Environmental Science
(Website under construction)
Our lab studies how rivers, lakes, and their landscapes move water, sediment, and elements across continents. We aim to understand links between physical and ecological processes as well as the impacts of human activities on inland waters. We draw from disciplines such as hydrology, ecosystem ecology, and geomorphology, with particular interest in data-driven spatial approaches that combine in-situ sensors, satellite remote sensing, and data synthesis. Current research activities focus on:

Our lab studies how rivers, lakes, and their landscapes move water, sediment, and elements across continents. We aim to understand links between physical and ecological processes as well as the impacts of human activities on inland waters. We draw from disciplines such as hydrology, ecosystem ecology, and geomorphology, with particular interest in data-driven spatial approaches that combine in-situ sensors, satellite remote sensing, and data synthesis. Current research activities focus on:
- Human impacts on sediment delivery from continents to coasts.
- Deciphering ecosystem processes from spatial patterns in water quality.
- Developing databases of inland water quality using satellite remote sensing.
