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.  More about Patricia can be found here: SelectedWorks page Google Scholar profile Calling: Earth is a production of the USF Libraries in cooperation with the USF School of Geosciences, as well as other associated departments.   Questions, comments, and any other feedback can be directed to [email protected].
