Research Summary
The Li Reactive Water group is interested in questions regarding how the structure of Critical Zone—Earth’s living skin from the tree tops to the bottom of groundwater (the zone that supports life)—regulates its functioning and response to climate change and human perturbations. We are particularly interested in the interactions of water with soils, rocks, roots, and microbes along its flow paths to rivers and streams and how such interactions regulate water quantity, chemistry, and quality.
