Erik comes to iUTAH from the University of California - Berkeley, where he studied how carbon, oxygen, and uranium isotopes in soils respond to climate for his PhD research. Part of this research was centered on how water behaves in soils, and that is his main focus here in Utah. Erik is using isotope-enabled soil water hydrology to better understand water in soils along the Wasatch Front, and how soil water contributes to streamflow and atmospheric water vapor.
