Abstract
My experience with hydrology began in Larry Dingman's “Principles of Hydrology” class, for which my term project was dilution gaging in College Brook. Since then, my work as a hydrologist has ranged from aquifer characterization and modeling in New Hampshire to regional assessment of trends in stream flow across the U.S. to evaluating non-sustainable water use around the globe. I will share some of my early experiences as Larry's student and advisee as well some of the work that I have done since then. Quantification of human impacts on the hydrologic cycle is essential before better stewardship can be applied. Towards that end, I will present my research on how agricultural irrigation has affected the hydrologic cycle at regional to global scales.
