Work with me

Interested in working with me?



I am always open to discussing collaborations, either using my existing Water Table Model and Fill-Spill-Merge code, developing new code, or thinking about hydrology or the Earth's surface in some other way. I am also happy to just talk to you about research in general and share more about my work! Feel free to get in touch and we can set up a meeting.

Students and postdocs:


If you are interested in joining my lab in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), feel free to contact me by email (kerryc@uic.edu). I recommend spending some time reading about our research to determine if this group is really a good fit for you. Provide your CV and a summary of your research interests when you first contact me. The focus of my group's work is on the water table in the past, present, and future; and on understanding the landscape and how it evolves. Examples include understanding long-term change in the water table; changes in water storage between different reservoirs (lakes, groundwater, ice, and the ocean); and the interactions between landscape morphology and water storage. There will be a focus on computer modelling and coding experience would be an advantage. Possible projects will include regional or global studies using the Water Table Model and/or Fill-Spill-Merge to assess changing water storage. There may also be opportunities for some field work. I would be happy to discuss potential projects in more detail, including if you have ideas for your graduate/postdoc research.
