I also applied systems science to map the support needed for the regenerative agriculture transformation underway in the food\u2013agriculture sector, with a focus on the Intermountain West. In Pullman, I led data collection and laboratory processing of nutrient and flow data to support our team\u2019s research and enhance public understanding of the South Fork Palouse Watershed.<\/p>\n Email: philip.moffatt@wsu.edu<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n Postdoctoral Research Associate – Washington State University<\/p>\n Ph.D. Civil and Environmental Engineering, Washington State University<\/p>\n M.S.

I also studied the overlap between hydrology, agriculture, energy, and sociology in the Food-Energy-Water Nexus in the Columbia River Basin. I am currently assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering at the University of Massachussets-Amherst.<\/p>\n Email: cdguzman(at)umass.edu B.S. Student in Civil Engineering<\/p>\n I graduated from WSU majoring in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Construction Engineering. My undergraduate research focuses on establishing cross-sectional \/longitudinal streamflow monitoring of 18-Oxygen, 2-H (Deuterium, D) in the South Fork Palouse River Watershed. I am also learning about precipitation (rainfall\/snowfall) characterization spatially, temporally and snow pack\/snow melt isotope dynamics in the Inland Pacific Northwest and hydrological fluctuations in stable isotope composition at Cook Agricultural Farm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n Research Assistant 2023 – Washington State University<\/p>\n REU Student 2022 – Washington State University<\/p>\n REU Student 2023 – Washington State University<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n Associate Professor at National University of Costa Rica My research focuses on the analysis of climate variability, moisture transport mechanisms, and precipitation dynamics in the tropics. I have put a special emphasis on the analysis of climate variability and hydroclimatic conditions for Costa Rica to assess the significance of recent changes in the available water resources. High-altitude ecosystems like the P\u00e1ramo, located mainly in the Talamanca range of Costa Rica, are studied using stable isotopes in precipitation and glacial lakes (from https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Germain_Esquivel_Hernandez<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n B.S.
