Publications

The following are proceedings and refereed publications under review, related to my Master's Thesis, Monitoring Soil Moisture and Soil Water Salinity in the Loxahatchee Floodplain.  A description of the project is found here.  I studied under my extremely intelligent and gracious advisor, Dr. Rafael Munoz-Carpena.  My thesis committee also included Dr. Yuncong LiDr. Mike Annable, and Dr. Kenneth Campbell.  After I graduated, Dr. David Kaplan took the reins of this project and did some very cutting edge work for his phD dissertation (great, easy-to-read link on the project here).
