Thomas Harter, PhD

Nora S. Gustavsson Endowed Professorship for Groundwater Resources in Agriculture, University of California Davis

Dr. Harter's research team and their outreach/extension support focus on nonpoint-source pollution of groundwater, sustainable groundwater management, groundwater and vadose zone modeling, groundwater resources evaluation under uncertainty, groundwater-surface water interaction, and contaminant transport. His team uses a range of numerical, statistical, and stochastic modeling approaches, often combined with field research, to evaluate the impacts of agriculture and human activity on groundwater flow and contaminant transport in complex aquifer and soil systems, and to support development of tools needed in agriculture and by decision- and policy makers to effectively address sustainable groundwater management and water quality issues in agricultural regions.
