I use my process level understanding of:]

* hydrology (i.e. rainfall/run-off, residence time,discharge),
* water quality (i.e. nutrients),
* data (i.e. S79 discharge)/data science,
* water management, 
* restoration, and 
* models (i.e. RSM)

.big[
...to provide technical input needed to advocate for our coastal ecosystems.
