DepartmentOrganizationEmailPhoneAddressBurlington , Vermont 05405United StatesBioDr. Bowden's research focuses on interactions between hydrological and biogeochemical processes, especially as these processes are influenced by land use practices and land cover characteristics at catchment scales. He works in two different but related areas. In Vermont, his research focuses on management of stormwater impacts from development on urban streams. In Alaska, his research focuses on understanding climate change impacts on arctic streams. In both areas his research is designed to improve the uptake and use of science knowledge by resource managers, policy makers, and community stakeholders.
