Stories by Matthew Garcia

Mr. Garcia is now (finally!) a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Forest & Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, with a focus on forest hydrology and a strong interest in boreal climates. Mr. Garcia has earned M.S. degrees in Atmospheric Science (1999) and Civil Engineering - Hydrology (2003) at Colorado State University. He worked for four years in the Hydrological Sciences Branch at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on several projects, served as an expert witness in trial testimony for the City of Colorado Springs, and was the Project Manager for the Arizona Hydrologic Information System (AHIS) effort of the Arizona Water Institute at the University of Arizona. His professional interests include problems in hydrology and water resource sciences, hydrometeorology, climate change, science in the popular media, government water policy, forests and mountains, and mapping for process understanding. He describes himself as "a rabid interdisciplinarian, always eager to learn in another topic or field related to how the water cycle works."
