PROF. BELIZE LANE

I am an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Utah State University and a researcher at the Utah Water Research Laboratory.
I am a watershed hydrologist with the aim of understanding watershed processes, rivers, their biota, and human engineering and management as an integrated system to inform water management under increasing stressors. My lab's research explores the relationship between landscape and channel context and hydrologic behavior in response to disturbances - wildfires, floods, climate change, dams etc. We work across scales, collecting field measurements and analyzing public datasets that inform the development of statistical and process-based tools. I also lead several efforts to integrate emerging research and develop dynamic web-based tools to guide coordinated, stakeholder-engaged regional environmental water management in the western U.S.
